You’ll see some regulars here from week to week. I read a lot more bloggage than I’ve shared here and I’ve even gotten some good material out of a lot of it, but I’m only gathering up the material that spoke to me enough to share on the interwebz.
Hope you enjoy these as much as I did.
Thanks Melanie – some great links especially the character arcs.

Thanks, Jenny. Just taking Kristen’s advice to get something out there a little more often 😉 I just couldn’t do the kitteh meme, though. I figure even if I’m sharing this stuff on FB, their manipulation of the sharing probably means most people aren’t actually seeing everything I send out. Problem solved.

Facebook’s manipulations are far beyond my scope of understanding! 🙂
