Finding time these days can feel nearly impossible. Funny enough, or not funny at all, I had planned to post this well before I ended up posting it. Heh heh. Maybe you can relate. Or maybe you cannot fathom being late with anything. Although if you fit in this last bucket, I am not sure how much I can believe […]
I’ve entered into the vast unknown of writing a novel. I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Some people might crucify me on the spot for letting you in on it, but we’ll just keep this between us. Ready? Okay. The secret is that writing a novel is hard as shit. Please do not bother telling me […]

It feels like I have been applying to jobs for the better part of a century. One after another after another. The monotony of it is enough to make you want to bang your head against the nearest wall.

There is a unique set of pills for every day of the week. Today I had Wednesday’s bottle of pills. Before every meal, we were expected to consume them. Wednesday’s pink pill was meant to create a rush of excitement in the middle of the work week. Sometimes that backfired. Some people would forget and take another. Or forget to […]

I don’t write because I have to edit anything I write at least 5 times before I feel comfortable posting it.
