Posted in Inspiration, Scorched, Writerly | May 19th, 2009
So, I’ve started working on Scorched in what little spare time I’ve been able to come up with in the last week or so. With two massive headlines barrelling down on me I have to get two stories finished before I can really sink my teeth into this story. So, I did add about 275 [...]
