One Year Ago Today…

It’s my one year anniversary with Lyrical Press today, and since I haven’t done a Thursday 13 in a while and I’m rather one-track-mind on the “Things I Learned This Weekend” bit, I’m doing a special anniversary 13 Things I Learned This Year to celebrate.

I learned that reflowable text is a great thing. Terrible…but great.
