I posted this a while back on Angela Highland's website, but I've had a few more followers drop by since then, so I thought it might be a good time to repost it. Without further ado, here's Lex.

Copyrights and Other Thoughts
I'm not an expert on this stuff. But I'm a writer, so when people are talking about stuff, I have to take notice.

Now, you might say three lines are nothing. But you'd be wrong. At … Continue reading Unblocking
