Becoming Bookish: March 2012

http://hhelscher.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Becoming Bookish: October 2012

http://hhelscher.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

There was an error in this gadget. Saturday, March 21, 2015. I Return to the Blogging World. It’s been a while since the last post. Let me be more honest. It’s been a long while. It’s been so long I wasn’t sure I could still remember my password to generate a new post. Obviously that worked out, or you wouldn’t be reading this. What have I been up to? While the clock ticked, I scuffled with myself about the genre best suited for my voice and my interests. Interests besides Candy Crush. There I was, innoc...
