I had a really hard time picking this story back up after putting it down. I've been taking a pile of writing classes and juggling three other stories was at my max. But, classes are out right now and its just me and two cats for a few days. So I'm catching back up with the hopes of wrapping it up this weekend ( Read more... )

It's been accounting and tax time. I'm terrible, leaving everything from the whole year to do before filing. I love math. Accounting is evil. Accounting is arbitrary, by my view ( Read more... )
