I need your peer pressure in order to make this happen. Your peer pressure – harsh and brutal if necessary – is my only hope. It’s November again, obviously, and as I kept getting nagging spam emails from the NaNoWriMo people, I slowly succumbed to the allure of Why not? You should know, this is maybeContinue reading “I am doing NaNoWriMo – AND I NEED YOUR HELP!”

I’m Serious – It’s About 2013, and I Need Your Input

The Wizard’s Midsummer’s Night Monadnock Adventure: Part 2 (A Photo Journey)

This is a chronicle of that fateful and life-changing trek into the heights of divine communion andContinue reading “The Wizard’s Midsummer’s Night Monadnock Adventure: Part 1 (A Photo Journey)”
