  1. So great you’re doing this, however, please don’t use light colored typeface. Way too hard to read. Thank you!

  2. Eek! I decided to dive in and give this a try. I’ve got a bunch of ideas floating around that need to be corralled and hopefully drafted into something resembling stories. Thanks Paula!
