*creaks open the door to my bunker* "Is it over yet guys?" *man in a hazmat suit and disinfectant comes running at me* *ducks back down* Besides the Attack of the Great Spider (please put out a notice that Shelob is NOT welcome in my bathroom), it's been fairly smooth sailing around these parts.

Saturday Morning Post Vol. 4
I think I write too much because I'm beginning to make up ways to spell things (not misspell, but I actually just think that a word is spelled totally differently am I losing my mind cast your vote).

Saturday Morning Post, Mid Week Thoughts
I'm writing this in the middle of the week, though this is my Saturday Morning Post (maybe that should become a thing? Like this is my column where I blather about anything I want to?)

Round 500 of Edits and Things I’ve Learned

Multiple Drafts, Editors, and Squirrels with Dog Bones
I usually plan out my blog posts and get them all scheduled ahead like a neat little fairy that keeps everyone's plans nice and orderly. But um...not today. I'm writing this the night before whilst wracking my brains and pounding my head against the couch at 9 pm with a nose that has been continually … Continue reading Multiple Drafts, Editors, and Squirrels with Dog Bones
