Friday! It’s Friday! You know what that means! It means that on Wednesday, I looked at my blog and went, “MMMMM maybe not…” And then I looked at it again on Thursday and went, “MMMMM I still don’t wanna!” And now we’re...

Dead-end street I grew up in a Spanish colonial revival house. It was the very first house on the right-hand side of a dead-end street. I’d ride my scooter up and down and up and down. It felt a hundred miles long. My best friend at the time lived at the very...

When I was little, I didn’t always like being a girl. Not in a hateful way, or a depressed way. I just have an older brother, and he’s really cool, so I used to think that boys were just so much cooler than girls. Boys had things easier and could do things...

Can you tell a story in 100 words? And more importantly…does it have to be any good? Here’s a 100-word flash fiction I did on Tuesday for the prompt “For once, everything goes right.” What day is it? I rub a tired eye. I’ve lost...

Long day’s end. I pulled into my driveway after a long day. Well, a long week. Although I guess it was still only Thursday. It was late—at least after 6. But winter was over, so the sky was still bright. The sun still hung in the pale blue sky. But the technical...

To my fellow overthinkers: do you ever wish you could just…stay out of the loop? And by loop, I mean the one that we create ourselves. The cycle. For those of you unfamiliar, it goes like this: Become aware of a future thing Initial Panic Talk self off...

Something magical happens when you’re eleven. Something magical, and something ordinary. What happens is that you pick up a book and you vanish inside it. The world becomes your world and the characters become your closest friends. At least, that’s what...
Oh, I love that song! Unlike my friends from The Company, though, I never heard it in the context of…
So glad to hear that, Mattie! You're welcome for the reminder.
Hi Judy! I'll be staying in Cambridge :-)
I have the same Neverland feeling about Regina Spektor's "The Call". It was SUCH a powerful song to me when…
Wow Lucy, this hits home for me! I hate endings and uncertain futures. But thinking about eternity is a blessing…
