Site updated


In March 2021, I updated this website. My first experience using Bootstrap was fun, and it's great the site is now more mobile-friendly.



If you maintain your own website and don't rely on pre-made templates, an excellent learning resource is W3Schools.com (the site has extensive information and even includes innovative pages where you can experiment with code to learn).



This page features updates on happenings I consider significant in my writing adventure. And may contain nuts, or other random things that catch my eye when I'm not being distracted by squirrels.


"In ancient times they had no statistics, so they had to fall back on lies."
