I’ve finished putting Boyscouts of the Apocalypse up on Wattpad and I’m still waiting and watching to see if I get the full results I was hoping for. So far, I’ve had a good response to the story.

The holiday season is upon us and for some that means stress. For me, stress really starts to show up around deadline time. If I have properly scheduled myself, no stress.
