(personal/writing/advent) 2018 – my first full year alone

I swear this year is going to be better. I won’t let it be the same way it was last year. I won’t.   But things are going to have to change. I’m realizing how hard it is to do things on my own – not just in terms of emotionally (because it IS hard, …

(website) Look, it’s alive again!

Seriously! With some help from a good friend (thank you, Alba!), we finally figured out why the website wasn’t letting me update. I was also bored with my theme, so I’ve got a new one, at least for a little bit. Let me know what you think. I’ll be posting here again and mirroring at …
