This will be a short review since it’s non-fiction and since, well, it was so darn confusing reading it.
I just recently started listening to another writer’s podcast called Writer’s Voice. In early March, they had author Michael Downing on their program discussing his latest book which dealt with the whole confusing mess of Daylight Saving [...]

Friday Night
It’s icky outside. A dark drizzle mists the world and we need to drive through it at the height of rush hour to get Daniel to his Nana’s. There’s a buildup on the I-290 extension that’s really a slowdown before you get to the real mess on I-55. Visibility is poor and tempers are [...]

First of all, like the new layout? I’m impressed by it. I’m trying out a new theme and it’s a lot cleaner than the old one. I think I’ll keep this one for a while.
I found it while I was at a loss on what to do after I checked my email. I’ve been in [...]

(Mickey Mouse straightens his bowtie, spruces up the bouquet of flowers, takes a deep breath, then knocks on the door.)

(LaShawn peers out the window.)
LaShawn (from behind the window): Go away!
Mickey Mouse: But I have something very important to tell you!
LS: Beat it! Scram!
MM: Really! I do! Please, open the [...]

Exactly four weeks ago, I had just settled down after fighting to get Daniel to daycare. It wasn’t because of his usual reticence that takes place upon me waking him up to when we actually get out the door; it was the fact that the air was laced with tiny particles of snow almost too [...]

This week, Daniel has been putting a different spin on our storytime before he takes his nap. Normally, I read three picturebooks to him before putting him down for his nap, but twice this week, he brought the book, “Jamberry”, to me, but wanted to read it himself. A two-year-old reading a book aloud to [...]

I didn’t mean to post another book review so soon. I would like to try to space my reviews at least a couple of weeks apart. But what can I say? This was a good book. It’s been a while since I devoured a book within a couple of days instead of a month. I [...]

You’ll have to excuse the minimum posting I did last week. In addition to all the hospital visits I was doing, I was also finishing up a story to send in for an anthology which deadline was March 1.
Deadlines. The pitchfork for writers’ behinds.
What made this deadline so insidious was that the story I was [...]

When I first started this book, after reading the first few pages, I did something that’s considered taboo to readers and writers alike. I flipped to the end of the book and read that first.
I didn’t do it because I hated the book. On the contrary, I liked the storyline [...]
