For those in the good ol’ U. S. of A. — happy 4th of July!
So, what’re y’all doing to celebrate? (Like most of us are really “celebrating”; any excuse to party!) The husband creature and I were supposed to go over to his folks for a “family cookout.” We decided to blow it off, [...]
When Writing Buddies Turn Toxic
This is a particularly hard topic for me to write about, but an important one.
I have these two friends. Let’s call them Cynthia and Jordan. They’re writing partners; for over a year now, they’ve spent almost every day together chatting about writing, working on their respective projects, reading each others’ snippets, as well as encouraging [...]
