Syd Logsdon I really dislike horror stories — never read them. On the other hand, I can't resist a challenge.

Hours had passed since his capture, hours of torture and humiliation, hours of being twisted into unnatural poses and dangled above the ground.

Syd Logsdon Right now I’m into selling mode for things I have already written, via my blog http://www.sydlogsdon.com . I am producing eight posts a week, and waiting for Cyan to come out before deciding which of several other projects to tackle next.

Syd Logsdon Don’t give up and get a good day job.
Syd Logsdon You can say what you think, then go back and blot out your mistakes before you press print. Don’t you wish you had an undo button for that conversation you had at work last week?
