10/04/08 ISBN's

8/24/08 Just how Much Can Happen In 4 Months? We all go through periods of pure chaos, sometimes it is a good thing, sometimes it is a bad thing.

Where and when do you like to write?

04/11/08 There are many self imposed requirements for writer's. Talking to other writer's over the years it became apparent to me that high on the list of those self imposed requirements was the where and when that those writers actually wrote.
