Larian 4 – Grandfather’s Locket
Back in March, I decided to write another Larian story. I’ve had fun with his last three adventures (How NOT To Rescue A Damsel In Distress, Measuring Up, and First Blood), and it seemed time to do another one. Plus, …
Progress Update
The last week has been very enlightening, writing-wise. Since I’ve begun tracking my writing I’ve been amazed at my output. Well maybe not amazed. Pleased and impressed, maybe. I’ve been working on my Writers of the Future story still. At …
