Three Things: Through the Window Edition
This week, let’s write about something that we all do multiple times a day (unless you live in a cave): looking through a window. What does your character see?

Three Things: The Quiet Day Edition
I’m in a quiet mood this morning. And since I can’t have a quiet day, I’m living vicariously through quiet images. Join me?

It’s July: we’ve crossed the halfway point in the calendar year, and we’re in the thick of all that summer is. This week, let’s write a little ode to July, and what it brings.

Spring is here, and with it, the aroma of hot dogs and peanuts and cracker jacks, the reverberation of an electric organ bouncing around a stadium. Or, more simply, the yells of kids down the street, punctuated by the crack of bat on ball. I played Little League as a kid, but the true baseball soul in my household belongs to the man I’m marrying next month.
As he ushers in the season with his favorite past time, I’m pulling out my pen and paper. Join me?
