Man, I hate the new editing environment in WordPress. But, we must adapt. There are a bunch of topics I’ve wanted to blog about, but the time hasn’t been there. For now, some nuggets: I’ve been writing fiction since 2017, which kind of blows my mind. Since I started, a lot has happened in my

Long time, no see, blogosphere! I am insanely busy, with no bandwidth for much other than SYENZ. So, for now, please take assorted nuggets of levity as a token of my appreciation. https://twitter.com/be_nMD/status/1369396659810140161?s=20 "There is a place in the heart that / will never be filled."

I am just going to give myself 10 min to write this post, so whatever comes out, comes out. I am in a time crunch over a proposal, which also means that every other facet of my life must demand much more from me than usual. Over the last several days I spent 1-2 hours
