Writing Life

The life most real to me. As evidenced by the preponderance of posts.

I Was Going to Whine

About what? Oh, I’m sure I could have come up with something. How little time I have to write, maybe, or the fact that every time I start to edit, my brain tries to run off. But the time for whining, if ever there were such a time, is over. This edit is going down. […]

Writing Again

Day of Service
