We’ve talked previously about writing and music, Squiders, and I thought the lot of you might want some alternatives to the never-ending Christmas music. Last Thursday my husband and I braved below freezing temperatures to go to a Sonata Arctica
Sketchtober
Squiders, it’s going to be October by the end of the week. On the one hand, October! I love October! On the other hand–where has 2016 gone? I’m not ready for it to be this late in the year! I
Spurts of Creativity
