Anyone want to do a 50K word challenge for February?
I’ve got a 50K challenge up in my forum: Under the Moon
Among other things. Lots of things. Come on over!

NOTE – I am no longer a part of the Night of the Working Dead publication from Blu Phier.
Make note, folks – listen to your inner voices! Do what the voices tell you to do. Generally, those voices are right.

I’ve done it again – I’ve put a forum on my website.

Anyone is free to join and post…however I expect adult behaviour. Toddlers walking around in adult bodies can go find somewhere else to play. On the flip side of that, adults walking around in children’s bodies …

The oldest uncle wanted to play Monopoly. Jare (yes, my mother had a J thing…) has kicked our asses so many times the girls just don’t wanna play anymore.
