38 Things
I’ve been called out by Cybele, who is one of my writing imps (her avatar sits on my shoulder and pokes me in the back of the ear with a pitchfork or some other shiny, pointy thing, possibly a pencil, but chrome and ruthless, to remind me to set words to paper, or pixels to screen, on a regular basis…all hail Cybele).
