I can’t stop taking on writing adventures. Poor “accomplished” Suzanne Broughton doesn’t stand a chance any longer. I can just see her resisting the urge to google herself, finally giving in, and cursing the day I ever decided to start blogging.

I am starting to confuse real life conversations with what I write on my blog–scary virtual boundary issues happening.
