Anthology & Announcements
I have A LOT of announcements to make, but I don't want to overwhelm any one with a post simply filled with a checklist of things I need to say (I do have this checklist by the way...in a notebook...on a pink post-it note...ripping slightly in half as I read off of it.) So, for… Continue reading Anthology & Announcements
