The other half and I have ventured out on a road trip again. Miles upon miles of highway stretched out before us, flanked by farmland. Billboards advertising adult stores, religious messages and everything in between break up the monotony, along with truck stop and gas station signs that reach sky high. There’s also the visual […]

Reflections and gratitude
Despite starting this blog as an outlet to talk about writing in general, I realized that I haven’t done a blog post in a bit where I just talked about where I am in my writing. So here goes. **Note here – I’ve linked to other blog posts if people are interested in anything I’ve […]
