Almost Famous
Today is April 1 which means its the first day of the A to Z Challenge. Last year I did poetry and poets, but this year I wanted to do something a little easier (less research) and also more creatively challenging.

So expect anything from poetry to vignettes. Find out more about the challenge by clicking this button. Almost famous is not good enough. what price have I paid my dreams lie in dust. Almost…

Consumed by the depression there in their shadow we die in the darkness alone.
