WORDBOY'S WORDS
The Website of Michael P. Dunn
​...scribbler of prose...dreamer of dreams...writer of wonders...
...lover of fountain pens...
...writing is life...everything else is research...
Tomorrow may be hell, but today was a good writing day,
and on the good writing days nothing else matters.
- Neil Gaiman -
