I Miss Sunday Scribblings
Years ago, during my more formidable blogging days, I was a follower of a blog titled Sunday Scribblings. It was a blog run by Megg and Laini on which they would post a weekly prompt, encouraging bloggers from all over the internet to write something based on said prompt.

Challenge Me… Again

30 Questions
I'm totally stealing this from Paul over at The Captain's Speech, after he was tagged by Bill from A Silly Place. Because answering 30 questions posed by someone else represents, to me, a blog post that I don't have to think much about when it comes to the writing. So thanks for the questions, fellas! 1.
