Word Wednesdays
Reader’s Digest
Internet, I have a confession. I don’t actually read that many books. I know it probably surprises you, since I love writing so much. But it’s the truth and I’m not proud of it. I am a champion book buyer. And I have every intention of finishing them at the time of purchase (or borrowing). […]

Already it was deep summer on roadhouse roofs
Alright kids, it’s been awhile since I’ve done a Word Wednesday and since I skipped out on the Top Ten yesterday to go watch Zoolander in the park I figured I owe you one. This month marks one full year of writing Tuesday Top Tens and I’m having a hard time deciding if I want […]
