REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Sunday
It’s been a hard workin’ weekend. Right after putting the bookcases together and sorting the books onto the shelves (by the way, it barely holds what was on the living room floor, leaving space for acquisitions, so I still have … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING & REALITY?: Drama
New plot twist in the ongoing two and a half year battle that’s been a large part of my life. Amazing how, had I sat to write this novel, I never could have come up with what reality can produce. … Continue reading Continue reading
