Since joining Twitter in 2015, I’ve never been comfortable with how to best use it. I initially established it as part of my author platform. Many writing advice columns tell you that having an online presence through which future readers can interact with you is a good thing. I’ll buy that. It makes sense toContinueContinue reading “My Social Media is/is not Me”

Writing Like its My (Second) Job
I tend to be productive in spurts. All or nothing. Feast or Famine. Wax or Wane. High or Low. Pick your favorite pithy saying. The point is that I—like most people, I suspect—tend to tackle projects or take on tasks I’m not absolutely required to do in cycles of high productivity and then no productivity.ContinueContinue reading “Writing Like its My (Second) Job”

Sirens in the Night
I can’t sleep. Again. It’s not horribly late, but it’s been more than two hours since I turned out the lights. My spouse lies next to me, emitting his typical sleeping song of raspy breathing and light snoring as I wait for the chorus to end. Finally, I reach over and hold his nose toContinueContinue reading “Sirens in the Night”
Eulogy for a Laptop
I don’t tend to be a sentimental person, and I’ve never been accused of being overly-demonstrative. I suffer loss—true loss—on the inside and bear it privately.

Embrace the Boring
My youngest daughter thinks I’m boring. That’s not a surprising statement coming from a 15-year-old who was forced to spend a day at Cedar Point with her folks. For anyone parenting a teenager, this is likely a familiar refrain, unless you are a Will Smith type who bungee jumps from helicopters on your 50th birthday.ContinueContinue reading “Embrace the Boring”
The Dyeing of the Leaves
I woke this morning to find the trees had grown weary of their summer looks. Green was so very last season, after all. As we slept, they dyed their plumage with the most vibrant colors—orange, burnt yellow, and neon rust. The trend started with one young restless and fashion-forward tree and swept through the populaceContinueContinue reading “The Dyeing of the Leaves”
