Novel Promotion [Brainstorm]

One day I’m going to write a novel about a travel adventure. I will write in the first person and I will base all the characters on real-life individuals, although many ancillary characters will be created from scratch.

Credit Report [How-To]

Warning: Big People Advice to Follow I did my free annual credit report late last week. Of course I paid $7.95 because I wanted to know my actual credit score, damn you Equifax!

Little Victories

I just changed up the visuals on Youth and Young Manhood a little. I’ll give you a second to try to guess what’s different… Okay, that was a hard one. I changed the bottom navigation from “Earlier Edition” and “Later Edition” to “Backward” and “Forward”. That seemed more intuitive to me. I also changed the arrows to a slightly...
