Packing takes all the time, guys. For real. So nothing real from me again today, but I HAD to share a couple links with y’all. 1. This post from Kody Keplinger is a MUST READ. Must. And not just if you are a writer. This is a must read if you are a human being. [...]
A while back, I tweeted this: People started asking for the recipe, so I promised I’d put it up on my blog. As you can see, that was on October 9th. Oops. I don’t have much time, so instead of typing the recipe all out, I’m going to give you a little direction and a [...]
