Do I have your attention yet?
Good, because it’s not what you think.
Okay, I take that back, maybe it is.
It occurred to me the other day that what I do during my breaks at work is plot my books. Cool, right? I like to multi-task. Eat and plot. Talk on the phone, instant message, and [...]
Bragging on the Novelty Girls
