Sometimes, I don't like referring to myself as a writer. Writers write. I occasionally get an idea and type something out and then leave it to die somewhere in my documents folder, eventually coming back to it and having nothing to add.The last few times I've been to...
This weekend I attended a writing workshop with Rosemary called "What Geniuses Know." I was really pumped because I haven't had a chance to go to any of the workshops before, and I didn't really know what to expect. Since I am currently not working a 9-to-5, I had...
I've gotten so used to having my entire mornings to myself. Today I have to get ready for a job interview. Before that I have to drive to Smyrna to do something for a friend. But afterward, I have a job interview. I'm trying to be upbeat about it, and I keep repeating...

Work has bee super busy the past few days. I'd like to pretend I'm working on something super amazing, but I'm not. Instead, I'll plug this book. My good friend and boss is reading at Charis bookstore in Little Five tomorrow alongside the fabulous Rosemary Daniell -...
I. freaking. love. this. I admit, I swiped it from a Myspace page, friend of a friend, that kind of thing, but I love it. I had a fairly good weekend, although I got pretty sunburned from being at the park. Uncovered my old writings when I was working for CB, and...
