Bea's Got a Fish!

I’m writing, I’m writing! And dealing with car issues, and it’s way too bloody hot, and did I mention the car issues involve the AC? But anyway. I’m writing, don’t hit me! Last week in desperation I bought a new writing book. I have a lot of writing books, and I value all of them […]

You know when you have too much stuff to do, so you can’t get yourself to get started on any of it? That’s me. I’m right there. Does it matter that most of it is stuff I really want to do? Nope. Does it matter that the consequences of not doing the stuff range from
