Off topic...
I finally put together a list of good Dorothy Sayers fanfic. I posted it up on my live journal. :) Hope you enjoy them.
Hi there! Just wondered how you're doing.
Sending you hedgehog hugs.
Or on second thoughts... maybe happy thoughts would be less painful.
Tal you haven't posted lately on your blog. I keep checking, but nothing new. Honest, blogging hasn't gone out of fashion yet!
You know what road is paved with good intentions! Anyway, I'm going to try to do NaNoWriMo this year, so give me time.
Anyone who wants to be my NaNoWriMo writing buddy, let me know.
Tal, happy new year! Are you ever going to add a new blog post? ;)
Hi saw you are a follower of catinthebuff.blogspot.com and I had to check out a blog called fluffy cat? Where is the fluffy cat?
