Our Writing Adventure…

Just a programming note… When I quit running the Writing Adventure Group back in July, I had planned and hoped to be able to pick it back up after a few weeks convalescing. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened. In fact, I still haven’t managed to fix all the links after moving the group to this blog from its original home! Today I’ll be emailing the Adventurers to let you know about...

Excuses, Excuses

Hello all, and especially those waiting for a WAG update. Unfortunately, I am a little under the weather and the medicine I’m taking is making me absolutely loopy, so I promised my sweetheart I’d stay away from the computer for a little while. I guess there’s a (rational) fear that I’ll burn down the internet in my current dopey state. Therefore, I’m going to extend the WAG...

The assignment was to write how something should have been. I really should have been born as my sweetheart’s cat (she’s spoiled rotten). If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I do hope that’s one of...
