If you want to see what I’m doing over there visit Word Grrls. It’s about web writing with a lot of writing prompts and writing exercises. I’ve been writing on the web since 1998.
This blog, through Lockergnome, is one I began awhile ago and then lost to the mothballs for awhile. I’ve been thinking that [...]
