Writers Strike/NaNoWriMo/Airhead

Well, I’m back in Key West from visiting my mom just in time for…the writers strike! I know, it sucks. But hey, you think you’ve got it bad? If it goes on for very long, I’m going to have nothing to watch, AND all the film deals based on my books aren’t going to get  Read more »
