The Writer's Daily Grind

http://www.writersdailygrind.blogspot.com

I have some fairly strong opinions on these things, and do not hesitate to express them, though in respect to both history and science, I try to be as accurate as possible.

    I'm going to try to refrain from blogging anything more about Neandertals for the next little while. First, I have a lot of writing to do. Second, I suspect some people are bored to death with this. Finally, there is so much going on, that I'm goin...

  • Neandertals liked their variety -- or at least the ones in Gibraltar did!

    Posted on Monday September 22nd, 2008 at 18:47 in
