Episode 14: ToryLynn Writer

Kghia is on her own for Episode 14, as Simeon is away, and she speaks with actual life and Second Life author and writer ToryLynn Writer. ToryLynn is one of the people behind "The INKsters", which is one of the largest support and resource groups for writers in Second Life.
