So…help me pick my next project…

Kind of. Like I mentioned in my last post, I’m waiting to hear back from my agent on the Cat Girl book. Once I hear back from him, I’m sure I’ll have some changes/polishing to do on that. And I’m not really sure what my next project is going to be (possibly an entirely different… read more »

Ze random…it haz me.

I kind of miss being odd and random. Before I was all official-y and published-y, I had a blog I called Blerg (which I’ve mostly imported in over here, so if you read through old old old posts you’ll see) and I just wrote about pretty much whatever.
