I've been reading my old stories but I can see a bit of a difference
Lately, I had been reading my old work and now, I can see some improvement. Some of the work I found laughable, I seemed to start seeing a style that works for me. Of course, I can still get better, you never stop learning. For all of you writers,......

Flar Has Landed!
I must say I sincerely dislike the introductory or the 'About Me' pages. It's difficult enough getting words out in day-to-day conversations, but to have to condense my awesomeness into a tiny post of a few hundred words is nigh impossible. And......
