As a writer I understand my power and privilege, my pen is a mighty scythe that can be used to sever ignorance or pile up innocents. This makes me dangerous as well as necessary, it is a job I do not take lightly. Recently while visiting one of the blogs that I follow, I noticed the owner being called to question on his rather negative and biased stance to which he responded the way I would expect my buddy’s 8 year old to.

The Hall of The Black Dragon was one of the only positives going for me in 2009 since business yielded more than a few unpaid invoices and an occasional rip-off artist here and there. The money flowed south but I found my stability through writing and of course maintaining this beautiful site.
