During my writing workshop today with author and editor Sam Stone, we had 15 mins to write a few descriptive paragraphs.

Read more "Direct from Gallifrey One: First Moments"Human attachment is amazing. Our hearts send out tendrils of connection to anything moves us, be that other people, animals, objects, even fictional characters. I am surprised to be this sad about Clara’s death. I shouldn’t be.

Well, Missy and Clara seem to be working together, trying to prevent […]
