The purpose of having a website is to attract visitors, right? And websites thrive with good quality, dynamic, changing content. Who wants to read the same pages, the same thing, over and over? Regular blogging can help with that. I will freely admit that I’m not the best at keeping my blog regular, and I … Continue reading Regular blogging

So, in the interests of diagnostics, I have backed everything up and this is a short blog post … Continue reading I think I broke it
This year, having said a few years ago that I wouldn’t do NaNoWriMo ever again… Here I am, typing at ungodly hours, describing a spaceship, an unexpected planet and landing, and I’m just a little bit ahead of schedule. This is a NaNoWriMo 2018 progress update. So, today I thought I would share a little … Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2018 Progress Update
