Due to some sage advice from good friends, I made a concrete plan of things I wanted to accomplish, and figured out how to do each of them. … Read more

This time is different. While I decided to actually go a bit late, I had made preparations just in case. I will have a table in the dealer room for Liminal Fiction, and I am planning to … Read more
