Ok, so a little off-topic again, but not entirely. If you have a Web site, or you’re thinking of creating a Web site, you’re going to need a host. I’ve talked about how happy I am with DreamHost before. You can read more about it on my resources page. Today, I want to share that […]
This is a portion of The Immense Center that did not make it into the final book. Not because I felt it wasn’t good, but because I felt it interfered with the pacing.
