I’m Back from NaNoMehMo . . .
Winning starts with beginning. — Robert H. Schuller Well, it’s December!

Breaking Bad Withdrawal- “Jesse Pinkman Lives” Fan Fiction
I’m not sure about all of you out there in Blogtropolis, but I’m missing Breaking Bad. Yeah, The Walking Dead premiered Sunday night and it was good (not great, in my opinion), but despite TWD, Scandal and my other favorite shows premiering, as well as Knicks preseason, the NFL (including the Jets being better than the Giants so Continue reading
