Blog Directions and Updates (Please Read [Especially if New or Visiting for the First Time])

Hello! I thought I should give you an update and some directions, especially if you've never visited my messy blog.  * I've updated the background: no more messy lettering, especially if you've been reading this in a mobile/kindle format. * New Pages! I have two pages with links to help you in navigating this blog.  Pages: *Rory's Story Cube Stories: Links on this page will take you to stories I wrote using Rory's Story Cubes for inspiration. * Drops of Inspira Stories ( In the Works): I've rearranged the parts of "Drops of Inspira" in chronological order so that you can read them as they're meant to be read.

Also, be warned that viewing the home page will take you to everything in the links, but will also place the stories...
