Preemptive Guide to Avoid Evil-Doers
Every day, a batch of people decide to write a short story or a novel. For the vast majority, the realization that writing is a difficult task to accomplish will push them back to scrolling through the Netflix guide or trying to catch Squirtle on their “Pokemon Go!” game. For those who do manage to […] Authors: Avoid Using MicroSoft OneDrive
As an author, I’ve used cloud drives for years. I have some off-brand versions plus Google Drive, DropBox, and MicroSoft OneDrive.

Personally, I’ve found their tech folks to be reasonable, especially when they realize I have an IT background and they can “talk the language” with me. I’m stuck in the geometric center of […] On Rulebreaking
