Baker's Dozen: Where I'm At
(I'm really not a calendar/scheduling type person, particularly when it comes to writing, and even more so on this blog, which was conceived as a tumblelog. Even though it's wandered back into a more conventional blog format, I'm trying to stick with a spirit of spontaneity. So, while I'm going to keep doing Baker's Dozen lists, I'm no longer presenting them as a "weekly feature." It's to restrictive and not working out well. So from now on, Baker's Dozens will just pop up when I feel like writing them. Like now. /smile/ )
