I’m tempted to write another “look at me, I’m so busy” post, but I’ll spare you the pain of having to read that. Instead I want to talk a little about what kind of writing I do on those “look at me” days. No matter how busy (or flat out exhausted) I maybe be, I […]
Declutter Your Writing
We’ve got a pretty small house. And with three young kids, it’s full of stuff. And by that I mean I’d post a picture of our living room floor, but that might give you the impression that I live in a family of hoarders. Fortunately, my wife has taken on the task of decluttering. It’s […]
