Writing (and Life) Update With Spellbound Fireflies News · 5:27am February 23rd

*peeks around corner*

Well, um, howdy, folks! It’s been…much longer since I’ve talked here than I would have liked! Like, eesh, over a year now, huh? What the fuck, batsy ol gal, what the hell have you been doing for the last year?

Well, funny story that, actually, hypothetical person asking me such a leading question! It’s been a pretty eventful year for me, and I come bearing news, both of the pone words variety, and the other, boringly lifey variety.
