ABOUT THE PORTAL:
When I first started blogging, I attempted to keep mirror blogs at both Wordpress and Blogger. It was a nightmare. My posts are just too image- and link-intensive to make that a reasonable option. I reluctantly closed down here and took up permanent residence over at wordpress.com
Recently, it occurred to me that I could, however, use Blogger the way I use Facebook - I can post links to my home blog here, to make it easier for folks on Blogger to follow along.
Comments have been disabled here, but feel free to leave your thoughts over at Wordpress.
THE PARANORMALIST BLOG IS ABOUT:
Finessing bipolarity. Writing horror. Chasing ghosts. And otherwise navigating a paranormal life.
