It's been so long since I've written anything just for fun, that it feels a little bit weird to even be trying right now. I wish I could pinpoint what happened to make this all seem more like a chore than something I actually enjoy doing so I could avoid it in the future, but... Continue Reading →
Five Weeks in 1500 Words
Please forgive my atrocious lack of posting lately. When you "write" for a living, it makes it harder to also still want to write for fun when you get home. That's the excuse I'm going with, anyway.

Since everyone else would surely make pies and cakes of various sorts, I decided... Continue Reading →
