I am really enjoying doing the April A to Z Challenge, though I am not doing it in a very traditional way. I’ve missed a few days- but I’ve written so much more than I usually do in a month, and it has felt great! I have put some of the posts on my sexier…
I see a man walking across the parking lot. He is of normal height, and he doesn’t stand out to me as anyone “special.” He’s holding his girlfriend’s hand and laughing. They get to the car, and he pulls her to him in an embrace, still smiling, he kisses her forehead, opens the door, and…
Why do we always feel like we have to justify our actions, ideas, and thoughts to other people? I think women do it more than men, but it’s real. Instead of just saying, “No, thank you.” We come up with a whole host of excuses, reasons why we can’t do the thing or go to…

The prompt at our writing group this week was Seashells. I don’t usually find a direct line from the prompt to my writing but this time- I hit it right on. So here’s a quick little 15-minute flash writing for you. ********** The thing about a seashell is that even though to me a shell…
