Book Musings 2022

I was compiling a list of some of my favorite books for the year, and it occurred to me while I looked back through the titles, that this has been…

You’re No Samwise

I wanted you on this journey with me, But I had to accept things as they were, So I left you sitting on the bottom step, Watching me walk up;…

The Right Ones

Don’t worry if they’re thinking about you. Think about yourself. Tell yourself a kind thought first thing in the morning, and before you go to sleep. Be so sure of…

    Farewell to Summer

    June 15, 2020 /

    When my grandpa died, soon after my grandma, I drove up north with my husband, Thinking about an ice cream shop Where children sat and ordered real sodas That melted sticky sickly-sweet with ice cream. Of antique shops with names like Carousel, Matched by charming interiors. Or the flea market Only open on weekends, But I had all the…

    Reworking Projects Helps You See Your Growth

    May 11, 2020 /

    I rarely rework projects. I revisit stories I wrote and enjoyed in my youth and write about them again, but that’s more out of a desire to go into those worlds than to see how much I’ve improved.  Many creative types make Then/Now posts, but I was neglecting to do the same. I was doing myself a disservice. I was feeling…

    Adoption, and What Makes a Family

    May 9, 2020 /

    Originally published on my website on February 27th, 2019. You can find the original version here. I happened to read over it and realized I could do better; my writing has improved enough that I feel this deserved another go. I also felt the original was very defensive, and off-putting as a result. One of the most enduring testaments…

    Happy Friday, everyone! Since being in quarantine, the days definitely feel a bit different, don’t they? I know for me and a lot of people, they just kind of blend together. While I am lucky enough to be employed at this present time, I still have the desire to seek creative outlets more fervently. You might have noticed the…

    A Hole in the Ice

    April 30, 2020 /

    And when I leave you,  It won’t be the gradual chill of winter mornings  Found in the beginning of the season, When berries hang fat and red on their stems And birds puff up their feathers,  Like old men hunched down in woolen scarves and mittens Lovingly made by old women. It will be a plunge into icy water, …

    You’ll Get There

    April 26, 2020 /

    I was speaking to a friend and fellow writer, and they were confiding in me their frustration. An acquaintance of theirs had had their website featured on a large Facebook page, and as a result, the popularity of their website was booming. “I love writing and do it nearly every day. This person made their site on a whim…

    “She read books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live.” -Anne Dillard I could begin this post by telling you how my mom read to me as a child, or my favorite books that I remember best from the early-dawn years of my life. Instead, I will tell you that there’s no one certain date I can…

    I could circle you, ravenous, and take you as my prey, But I would rather roll onto my back gentle as clouds and let you have me under that watching blue sky. Control is an illusion but I keep reaching for it, Perhaps I’ve been waiting for the caress of words; the intoxicating loss of control. The muse imprisoned,…

    I hadn’t been able to write lately. I hadn’t been sleeping well, I wasn’t able to concentrate. I felt like I was trying to get to the surface, but it was dark and mud coated my mouth. I didn’t know how to say what’s been going on in my head. I don’t know how to write about things like…
