For this month I will explore some holiday themed blog posts to get in the spirit... I'm thinking the Ghost of Christmas Past... BAH HUMBUG. Stay tuned

The Lost Key

Blogging is an adventurous outlet. A journey I never thought I would embark upon. I like to think of it as my public journal. A place where I can explore good and bad ideas. My first journal was a bright red book with cute pictures of lipstick on it and some other things. What I…

A Dog And My Blog

I write to engage the reader but how do I engage a reader with new and stimulating content when I feel the content getting stale? A few months ago I found myself enthralled by Vu Le who was speaking at a local event  he stated and I misquote, “Everything is better with kittens.” He proceeded…

Revised: An Empty Love Letter

I just revised this poem. I revised it because after reading it with fresh eyes I realized that it needed something else, it needed a facelift, a poetic facelift.

Releasing Writing Fears
