Getting Lost–On the First Day of School!

I knew it would happen. I told you it would happen. For those of you who don’t write, I can’t explain it. It’s like when you really, really have to pee, and someone keeps talking to you. I got a scene on the way to work. It was wonderful, it fit perfectly, and it will […]

I'm Getting a Tattoo

I’m getting a tattoo. Right across my forehead, that says “Sucker.” Or maybe not. Seems like it must already be there, it just doesn’t show up in the mirror. You guessed it.

Injuries Interfere With the Process

I don’t like to brag, but I’m a pretty fast typist. After typing 913 pages twice, not to mention all the other writing over the years, I should be. But today I have a problem. I have an owie on my ‘edc’ finger. Hey, this is major. You try it. Figure out something you’re normally

Two More

Two more, and I swear I’ll get back to the subject of writing. First, you know that blank right under ‘student name,’ that says ‘address?’ That’s the student’s address we want, not ours. We know ours. And you don’t get to change their name. So be careful choosing it in the first place. Because if
