Remembering the Big Picture
Throughout the posts on this blog, I’ve shared a lot about myself, my desires, and my thoughts. It’s clearly a very personal blog. It does not, however, cover everything I think about.

Something to Say
Here’s a riddle for you: What do you call a writer who doesn’t write?
