It has been entirely too long since I have participated in the Writers Adventure Group. With some sort of predictable routine emerging, post baby-birth, I found a little spare time to sneak in some writing for this weeks theme. Like in some previous weeks, I have used this writing exercise as an opportunity for a little self observation. While this is not a piece of fiction, I think writing non-fiction in story form ultimately helps the creative writing process, in …

Just the other day I was browsing through recent status updates on Facebook when I came across something interesting.

Even though the day was off to a wonderful start, I was fully aware …

We make sure the lights are all doused, with the exception of the light on our refrigerator door, and we get a jump start on the day by doing any little things which may save us some time the following morning. While this …
Pit Bulls are a very special breed of dog. They get a very bad rap, which in many cases they do not deserve.
