I don’t know about you, but I really don’t like saying no. No matter what it is — writing related, life related, anything — if someone asks me if I could help them, my automatic response is to say yes, look at my schedule, and think “oh...

For the first time in a very long time, I actually bought myself a book! This gorgeous little book has been on my radar for a while. Partially because it looks pretty cool, and partially because the author is Australian and that practically makes us next door...

It’s been ages since I did one of these random tag posts, and I ran out of my backlog of post ideas, so this tag came to my rescue. It was high time for a casual talk-about-characters post anyway. 😉 Thank you Catwing for tagging me for the ‘voted most...
