Happy Friday! There are shelves of how-to writing books available in your local bookstore. Each book is chockfull of writing tips and advice. I’ve bought a few of them, but I think I’ve learned the most about writing from watching a few television series again and again and again. The two I’ve watched most often Read More..

Happy Halloween! In honor of my least favorite holiday of the year, I’m going to jump on the bandwagon with a game of two truths and one lie. If you are one of the first 3 people to discover the lie (and you live in the US), you will win a prize. The contest stops Read More..
