I'd like to write more fiction, but I find it a lot harder than non-fiction, so it might need to wait for a stage in life when I have more uninterrupted time to write.<br /><br />Visiting from L.G.'s blogfest - nice to meet you!Azarahttp://inthetesseract.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762350475694970261.post-67821951522117974512013-01-09T18:18:55.181-05:002013-01-09T18:18:55.181-05:00Lol.

You get far fewer run ins with the cops with blogging and writing than you do with crazed explosions of public indecency.
