Why Not?

Confession time. We have all celebrities that we care about more than others, those movie stars or musical artists or political figures that we admire and follow closely.

May: a month of promise

I’m back! I apologize for being silent for a month, but things have been quite hectic around here. But then, aren’t they always? But May is going to be better, I promise!

So You Want to Write a Novel

When I was a young warthog, I used to watch those Disney channel inspirational commercials with dismay. They showed all those kids who excelled at awesome things: snowboarding, gymnastics, and so on.

2011: A Year in Review
