Welcome to YeahWrite’s Weekly Writing Challenge #412
Way Back When We're coming up on seven years since I submitted my first post* to YeahWrite. It was terrible. On the surface it was about a box of crackers, but it was actually about my relationship with a former coworker. I don't remember exactly how the two were tied...

All I can think of is bird jokes and it's all Stacie's fault Well, it's looking like my little piece of the world is finally about to get some winter, and I'm here for it. Sorry to the folks in Seattle with the sold out grocery stores (seriously, it's gonna be like, a...

Finish Line How do I become one of those people who just stops reading books they aren't into? I have this odd sense of duty to finish what I start. I know that's misguided, but I can't help myself. When I am in a slower period of devouring books, like now, the reason...

Squad Goals Remember what babes in the woods we all were at the beginning of 2018? I think I may actually have dared 2018 to "COME AT ME." It did. Now that we're at the nub end of the year, I'm bowing in supplication to 2019, that it might be kinder and gentler than...

Windy City I know Chicago got its nickname from its politics, but I'd like to vouch for the power of the wind coming off Lake Michigan. Not that I'd know: I've been holed up in a room writing the whole time, with occasional trips out to get a food or hug a SFF...
