Truly Bad Poetry (Mine)

  –It Kind of Rhymes– Yesterday was a sick day. That’s not very nice. I lay in bed all day long Not even eating rice. Ice cream sounded painful, Cookies are a crock. I’d pay someone some money To bash in my head with a rock. –Sub Haiku– Taught first grade today. How many tears

Conflict (and how I hate it)

I know it’s important. No story can move without it. And I’m learning how to write it. I am. But the thing is, it gets tricky sometimes. Like this time. When the horrible consequence I wrote for my character to experience shows up in the nightmares of my baby. I did NOT read my words

Guest Posting – Belle’s Bookshelf

Welcome to a new feature around here. I’d like to introduce you to my Kid 3, who has decided to jump into the world of Book Blogging. She’ll be known as Belle, and she’s a hungry reader. She’s nine (but only for a month) and she devours books of all kinds. So she’d like to
