I know, guys. I'm the worst. Admittedly, Spiderman is pretty entertaining... but likely not enough so to keep you occupied for my entire - GASP - two week absence. This month has just been so unbelievably jam-packed busy with multiple weekend trips to Seattle, a houseguest, and my brand new job... that I don't even know… Continue reading Things I’ve Learned About Writing (And Life)

Your fears are illogical but mine are not.
RELATED: Also, no one is allowed to have double-standards except for me. As promised in my recent post about not knowing what to post about, I would like to discuss - momentarily - my fear of sharks, and how it is totally 100% rational. And, while I'm at it, why everybody else's fears are totally 100%… Continue reading Your fears are illogical but mine are not.
