    For Writers & Other Homebodies

    ​

    My caffeine-fueled log of story ideas (a.k.a. the imaginary world in my head) 

    & what's going on in my house (a.k.a. the real world... I think. But who really knows for sure?).

    Expect snark, 80s & 90s references, badass moments, corny jokes, & good intentions.
