Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
Most people start new projects and resolutions in January. We all want to start the year off on the right foot. It seems I've pushed up the calendar and have made November my month to try new things. I wrote last week in my post, Pulling an all-nighter, about signing up for NaNoWriMo. My goal... Continue Reading →
I refilled my soda, stretched my arms and sat back down. The hour was late and my roommates were all asleep. The only sound I heard was the hum of the refrigerator compressor.

I stalk around my room, like a mad scientist, talking and grunting to myself in a gibberish that's hard for anyone else to understand. I'm surrounded by a lab full of beakers and various half-started projects. When I sit down at my laptop, I type out two or three sentences, read what I've written and... Continue Reading →
Last April, I noticed several other bloggers, including Kari from A Grace Full of Life, write about a few of their favorite things — 100 of them to be exact — and decided to come up with my own list. I had such a good time the first time, I figured it'd be fun to... Continue Reading →
