YeahWrite #385 Weekly Writing Challenge: Popular Vote Winners
Ugh, deadlines. If you're like me, you don't start writing until, well, the day the new Technique Toolbox is due. Or two hours before the grids close. I like to joke that I do some of my best writing on a tight deadline... but I'm lying. I do my most inspired writing...

Don't Blink My youngest baby started high school this week! How does time march so quickly? I remember when he was little as if it were yesterday and suddenly I must look up in order to meet his eyes. I'm trying not to blink right now because that's probably about how...

Hello, Bunting? After mentioning my quest last week, I'm sure you're all dying to know whether or not I saw Indigo Buntings this week. I DID. But only after I played their song on my phone. It was like magic, them flying out from their hiding places in the trees in...
