Sharing my Workspace & Links

Hi guys! After you check out the links, please visit me at Nutschell's! I've been interviewed for her Wednesday Writer's Workspace this week. (Though be aware, I had just gotten my office organized, so my workspace is nowhere near that tidy these days.)

As a sneak peek, here's a photo looking OUT of my office. To see my office, you'll have to visit Nutschell. (That's my Cleo kitty sunning herself on the floor. And notice the sign over the doorway? It has bearing this week since I just got back from the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. Friends fans will recognize the saying and what it refers to.)

Now for some links.
