Posted on July 25, 2014 by L. Jacob

I did it.  I wrote trash. Once I got beyond it though, there were some interesting tidbits after it.  A full-length story. I might lengthen it and make it a real story. However, now I’m stuck on a character.  I … Continue reading →

Hello, yeah, it’s been a while…

Posted on June 5, 2014 by L. Jacob
