Research Continued

In my search for information about the number 11 and terrorism… I give you this article. Interesting coincidence?

So Much for Research

Write Away, Boss!

I’ve been awake since about four A.M. being a geek. For some reason, I couldn’t really sleep. I’m not tired yet but I’m sure that later today I’ll be worthless. What kept me awake was working on a piece of literary magic which I have been super secretly working on for a bit now. In … Read more
