Ukulele Plunking
I set all kinds of daily goals for myself. These goals by themselves don’t necessarily take up too much time, but they are designed to give a kind of cumulative bonus. I goals for pushups and rowing, goals for how many words to write in my novels and to have updates for this site. Time… More Ukulele Plunking

“If you weren’t told we were enemies, would you still hate me?” Her words stopped his hand. He was in mid-swing and now he did not know where his aim should lead him. It had been so simple until she had started making sense. He had entered the clearing searching for fresh water. Luckily there… More The She-Orc
