View ArticleWhat's the angsty-est story you've ever wanted to write?
Although I am better known for writing comedy, I admit that I'm sort of hankering to write something with real angst to it, and have been sort of flitting between one story idea or another, trying to...
View ArticleRe: What's the angsty-est story you've ever wanted to write?
*SPOILER ALERT if you haven't read my story Of Masks and Men*I don't think I could get much more angsty than gunning down Georgiana and Col. Fitzwilliam in Of Masks and Men. That was easily the...
