No, I don’t need to follow my own advice about having too many alliterative character names. Nope. I do not. Not even Evil Mur can make me.

What I’m Up To:

* Station Eternity copy edits are turned in!

* More fun with character names all starting with the Letter T

Good News Good News

* My Blaseball’s back and I’m gonna make some trouble, Hey Na, Hey Na, My Blaseball’s Back!

Twitch schedule for week of November 1

* Mon: 1pm Just Chatting

* Tues: 3pm- I Should Be Writing

* Thurs: 3pm- I Should Be Writing

I’m also on the Wisdom app now, talking about NaNoWriMo in the mornings around 1030 or in the afternoon around 1pm! I’m just giving it a test, and there aren’t a lot of people on, but if you get it and see i’m on, you can listen and maybe get a chance to chat (voice) with me.

*This app is free, and I’m not being paid for endorsing. It’s very new and there aren’t a lot — okay, ANY — of people talking about writing there yet, so it gets lonely when I listen to talks about life coaching.
