OWLS is fun, exactly as I thought it would be, but it was also pretty clear when I bent prompts to things I wanted to write about... Here's the drill - I'll open with the more usual OWLS content and then cap it off with the first list of the 12 Days. Basically, all you... Continue Reading →
Hello again, people. I’ve fallen into a writing rut after having to produce mountains of words upon mountains of words for non-blog purposes (and being distracted by The Amazing Race, which is currently occurring in some capacity or other 3 times a week on local TV channels), but we’ll see how this fares.
