I'd have freaked! But I love how you tied this story into writing. To answer your question, the spider I slayed today was fear-induced procrastination. I hadn't pulled my WiP out since December, and for whatever reason, I just couldn't get back to work on it...until today. Felt good!<br /><br />Love your blog. The background is gorgeous.
