Traveling Discomforts and Mercies

When you read this, I'll likely be sitting on an airplane from Seattle to Paris. It'll be cramped and the flight attendants will be speaking in French and I'll have no idea what they're saying and the person next to me will look like they just got out of prison, or the hospital. Yeah, you're […]

I've managed to keep my distance from most news stories. Not that I'm not empathetic, I am. But if I got worked up about every horrible news story I saw, I'd […]

What to do When Your Writing Stalls

You're sitting at your desk, staring at your computer. Maybe the chapter of your current project is up on the screen. Perhaps you don't have the freaking slightest of clues what to write next.
