Every time I am forced to watch this movie (I have fun friends), which is to say every time I have watched this movie, I fall asleep. Perhaps multiple times. If I am not sleeping, my mind makes great attempts to drift off and think about things that it likes to think about, and when …
When I was little I used to want to be a mailman; rather, a mail-person. Something about gathering lots of envelopes, sorting them out, and delivering a handful of them house to house in a little mail truck appealed to me; it seemed orderly and official. The best part about this dream was I didn’t …
I had the idea that going back to school would take up pretty much all of my time, and I think I was right. Granted, I am pretty certain that a lot of my time spent “working on school”has been more accurately spent “looking like I am working on school, and indeed kind of working …
Well, I’ve written quite a few books in my lifetime, yes. Thank you for clarifying.

A friend recommended the book Women With Attention Deficit Disorder by Sari Solden. Let me disclaim that this review is not meant …
Sometimes, I just have to spread out to get my writing done. Whether it’s rewriting my novel, writing a blog post or article, or even just writing an email, I work best with a large, flat space to lay out all my notes, outlines, have my computer or current notebook in front of me, and …
