My post yesterday got me thinking more about the CMTV experiment, and today I’ve decided to experiment even further with the experiment by moving it to my public MySpace blog.

A couple FFF firsts today. First, a story written in first person. Second, an autobiographical story. Something that happened this afternoon.
