Day of Days
Happy Sunday! It's February 2nd! And the groundhogs have not seen their shadows so that means early spring! The sun is shining here and the temp is in the 40s so it certainly feels like spring is around the corner. But this is also February in the northeast so we're bound to have a couple … Continue reading Day of Days
Prompt 366 – Sitcom Life
If you were to create a TV sitcom about your life (any period) what would it be called and what star would play you?

Grief
Last June, I wrote a post about how grief is weird. I talked about how it's an ongoing process and it doesn't ever really go away. It's a natural part of life and it's ok to feel grief when someone is gone. This weekend reminded me that it is also complicated. When a public figure … Continue reading Grief

Return to Normalcy?
Salutations! Feels like it's been a year since I had a normal update post. And I guess technically it's still not a normal post because I'm updating on Monday instead of Sunday. The last quarter of 2019 was really insane, huh? The first two weeks of 2020 have been no walk in the park either. … Continue reading Return to Normalcy?
Prompt 355 – Gut Instincts
Do you follow your gut instincts and if so are they usually right? Thunder echoed in the distance at steady intervals. Todd glanced up at the stars as he picked his way through the woods along an unmarked trail. They were wrong. Up above the Earth, new lights shone and danced among the familiar constellations. … Continue reading Prompt 355 – Gut Instincts
But Wait There’s More!
Hi! I was going to write a prompt tonight but I wanted to use one of my recurring characters and I couldn't decide between Lara, Todd, or the ninja-pirates. So I asked Twitter to help, but then I realized that the character choices probably wouldn't mean anything to anyone without context. So I linked my … Continue reading But Wait There’s More!
State of the Closet: 2020
*rolls backwards into the blog on rollerblades a week late with Starbucks and crazy sunglasses* What is up my fellow writing kids? Happy New Year! Congrats! We survived another trip around the ball of space fire that keeps us alive! *confetti explosion* It has been a weird couple of weeks for me. I have not … Continue reading State of the Closet: 2020
