Posted on April 1, 2014December 1, 2024 by Beth
From time to time, I find myself grumbling when my laptop struggles to open or save my massive text documents. 180,000 words is pretty hefty for a ten-year-old computer, though, and even though my laptop kicks up a fuss when working with them, I really, really love this old Mac.… Read the rest...

Posted on November 26, 2013December 1, 2024 by Beth
I thought I’d be blogging about my dolls some more today, but I finished a big project a little sooner than I expected to. I thought I’d be posting this next week, but it’s happening this week, instead. After I completed my latest novel back in August, I decided to… Read the rest...
