Hey all, Sam here. Okay, let's try this again. I had ideas and plans for getting back into writing and getting back into blogging, and feeling like the old me again.

Welcome to the Free State of Geek!
Hey all, Sam here. Sorry for the silence the past couple weeks. Had some conversations that led to sort of a depressive funk.

Weekend Writer: March Progress
Hey all, Dani here. As we all know, the world really went bonkers in March, so as is probably expected, I did not get like any writing accomplished.
