I’ll be flying up to Kamloops this weekend. My brother’s there staying with my parents for a short time, and I’ll be visiting with him. He seems to be doing quite well now. Look, a dancing robot!

In order to ready myself for this, I have: Written a [ READ MORE ]
The NaNoWriMo website appears to finally be functional, so I thought I’d drop in here and point you to my profile. If you’re taking part this year, add me as a writing buddy. I don’t know what writing buddies do, exactly, but if nothing else I can spy on your word count like the big [ READ MORE ]
