Toy Story 5.) Moana 4.) Frozen 3.) Muppet Treasure Island 2.) Aladdin 1.) The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh Honorable […]
Truth time… I have a very difficult time just doing nothing. Like…I know that everyone needs a good lazy day here and there and relaxation is important, but doing nothing makes me hellishly anxious. Like…borderline panicky. I know. I know, that’s probably not healthy. Trust me, I’m aware. I can’t even just sit and watch […]
Okay, so I don’t know how exciting this is going to be for anyone, but my bathroom is on my mind. Constantly. There is so much drama in there right now, I’m having a hard time focusing on anything else. Let me explain. We live in a pretty old house. It was built in 1927, […]
Hmmm… I guess I never really thought of individuals having personal mission statements, but let’s go with it. I write because I have these stories in my head, filled with quirky, delightful people I adore (and some that I super loathe – looking at you, Nigel) and I want to know how their stories end. […]
It’s not quite the 25th, but it’ll be here before we know it. And, even though I’m writing this post early, if I know me (and by now, I’m familiar with my work) I’ll still be frantically making all the presents when this post goes live. But, it’s been a rough year–full of fear, disgust, […]

To have time to write all of the stories I want to tell and to tell them to the very best of my ability. To have multiple annual writing retreats […]
I’m thankful for a lot of things, so let’s get to it. I’m thankful I don’t have to cook Thanksgiving dinner (other than fancy green bean casserole). Because I really hate to cook (but green bean casserole is easy). And tasty. But I do get to eat Thanksgiving dinner. Which is great because I like […]
Dear Stock Art Sites and Photographers who Sell Their Work There, What are you even thinking? No, really. I mean that in all seriousness. What the actual merciless fuck is the matter with you? Have you seen some of the weird shit that ends up on royalty-free photo sites? Look, I get it. Not everyone who […]
Autumn, in Michigan, is stunningly gorgeous. And it’s my favorite season. Though, there are days that I’m not sure why, since every year, it actively attempts to murder me. (All photos taken by me.) Autumn roses in my mom’s garden. Changing leaves. Be sure to check out the other bloggers’ photos of autumn where they live. […]
Right now, I think we can all agree that the world is a pretty shitty place. There’s so much unrest and misery everywhere we look, and honestly, sometimes, it’s so overwhelming, I don’t know where to put the time and energy I have available into fixing it. I know a lot of the people I […]
