writing challenge of the day or week
I will admit here front and center, I take the BuzzFeed quizzes. Do you know which ones I’m talking about? You can easily spend (waste) an hour completing 20 quizzes or so. They are beyond silly and, honestly, serve as a way for them to get back end […]
Look, the world is chaotic. There’s no other way of describing the world in which we currently live. Just yesterday, there were three shootings (mass) in the United States. There were also many heartbreaking stories of loss, death and fear throughout. Watching the local news is a grand […]
