I had reason last weekend to look at an old journal of mine from when I was nineteen years old. I still have my old journals, and lately if I do find myself reading them (particularly the older ones), I wonder why I keep them around. How are they serving my present self? It’s painful […]

Trying something new here. Maybe I miss having a job? Maybe I miss purpose, routine, things like that. I know I miss a paycheck. But yes, staying home to raise my babies IS worth it. Anyway, in an effort to combat stasis, I will be blogging twice weekly and treating it like a job. Tuesdays […]

Remember that? I don’t think I’ve worked on it in like three years. God. But I still have all my old chapters, all one hundred thousand words, stored safely on my hard drive and on a backup drive. So, someday. I still think about it, actually. So I haven’t given up by any means. I […]
