Don’t Be Confused – I Changed My Name
Hello all! So I changed my url name. I’ve talked about changing it before, and now I have. It’s a bit of a funny name, I know, but it has a lot more meaning to me than “Aspirations of Flight,” and is a tiny bit less… corny. Heh. Dragons have always been highly representational in my life…

Thoughts from a Meeting Today
I met with a published author today, who I came in contact with through my doctor, of all things. She was pretty awesome, and I got some insights into the publishing world and what I should expect.

When Reading Crappy Fiction…
… I’m finding that I can actually learn a few things. You probably know that most people recommend that writers consume high-quality literature, thus giving great examples of writing of which to draw upon. There’s a lot of unconscious work that is going on here, as many of us lead by example and pick up good…
