What is this life if we don't wander to find ourselves?
So in the very early morning hours of NaNo Day 7, at 2:15 this morning, it came to me -- the title of my novel.But, like a true lover of sleep, I lay in bed covered in soft blankets and tried to burn the title into my memory so I could work on it in... Continue Reading →

Dying a dog's hair is much more invasive than dying our own hair. And, we have a choice. Dogs do not. It simply cannot be healthy to dye... Continue Reading →
