Oh no! I’m having second thoughts about my NaNoWriMo novel! One idea would be a normal novel, a mystery. The other would be a series of vignettes that are strung into a novel—kinda like most of Spider Robinson’s Callahan’s books, although I wouldn’t flatter myself that they’d be that good. I really shouldn’t be rethinking this with […]
Weird Realization
Weird realization… I don’t trust monogamous people who have any expressed or perceived interest in my partners, even if it’s in the distant past, to be current friends with my partners.
