Three Things: The Five Year Anniversary Edition
This month, Hazel & Wren turns 5! We’re celebrating quietly this Thursday at Boneshaker Books (join us!), as well as with a new column (coming soon!), and a survey (right here!). In the meantime, here are three celebratory scenes from which to take inspiration:

Three Things: The Breakfast Edition
What did you eat for breakfast today? What does your breakfast say about you, or your day? This week, let’s give our characters breakfasts that will set them up for whatever will happen next.

Happy Thanksgiving week, folks. Let’s continue our scrub, scrub theme and this week spend some time in the bath. Especially those of us heading to large family gatherings – we can’t afford to show up extra-odorous, now, can we?
I can hear that faucet drip already.

Three Things: Ode to Pie Edition, II
I’ve written about pie before, and let’s continue the pie paean. One of my favorite things is waking up to leftover homemade apple pie, and savoring a slice for breakfast over my morning coffee. Today, I am sipping my morning coffee pie-less, but the thought is enough for me to pick up my pen and write about pie. Here are three pies to help you and your pen, as well.
