#SATurday: The Lesson of Macaroni and Cheese When I was little, my mother was making me Macaroni and Cheese – something I continue to love to this day – and I was horrified when she poured it down the sink right in front of me. Of course, that isn’t what she had actually done. In… Continue reading #SATurday: The Lesson of Macaroni and Cheese

#SATurday: I Am Not Special
#SATurday: I Am Not Special Some nights, I do not feel like writing – but, in all honesty, I understand that I do feel like writing. After all, I always do. Even when I “hate” it, I redefine my hate as fighting through a passionate struggle – or I label it with some other momentary… Continue reading #SATurday: I Am Not Special

#SATurday: Writing in Shackles
#SATurday: Writing in Shackles I recently found out I have early-onset carpal tunnel syndrome. I wasn’t even sure if that was a rare disorder for a female 23-year-old. Apparently, it is. I honestly don’t know much about it at all, but I am definitely learning. Being told I have to wear wrist splints for 6… Continue reading #SATurday: Writing in Shackles
#SATurday: The Scar of Childhood
The Scar of Childhood Mine is on the left side of my right leg, directly below the knee. I cannot describe the shape because it depends on the temperature of the day and what I was wearing. Sometimes, that piece of scarred flesh is blue, but most days it radiates red. The biggest scar from… Continue reading #SATurday: The Scar of Childhood
#WW: The Lonely Writer
#WW: The Lonely Writer Writing can be lonely. The career often demands hours of solitude – aside from our characters – and while our characters can be very real to us, there are still those days where a living, breathing human being might be nice to talk to. Most of the time, this urge only… Continue reading #WW: The Lonely Writer
#SATurday: What Scares Us
#SATurday: What Scares Us At night – more accurately early morning – I crawl into bed to sleep, and my little (Okay. He’s fat) cat companion follows me. We cuddle up to one another, and I pretend to sleep. I say ‘pretend’ because this is the eternal mode of an insomniac. If I had to… Continue reading #SATurday: What Scares Us
#SATurday: Hurricanes and Mermaids
#SATurday: Hurricanes and Mermaids I’ve been spending a lot of time walking home in the dark and thinking about how many people would say, “That’s unsafe.” Of course, it is unsafe. I am aware of this. Perhaps I do it because it is unsafe. The silence draws me to it. At least that’s what I… Continue reading #SATurday: Hurricanes and Mermaids
