The Apocalypse Library- Guest Post by Shaunna
A couple of weeks ago, author Chuck Wendig posted his Friday writing challenge called “Roll for Your Title.” I tried to do it and failed miserably (remember the “Remote Control Hive Mind”? Ugh.)

Nope, not pregnant and going into labor; rather, my brother is dropping off my sweet little nephew for the weekend. Guilt because it’s Friday Continue reading

On Being in the Mood…
Do you ever find that you are not in the mood to write? That you’d rather just sit and veg out, or sleep, or stare at a blank wall? That you’d rather do anything other than fire up the laptop? Do you have days where writing or blogging seem like a gargantuan effort and you Continue reading

The Fantasy Pediatrician’s Office
This weekend, I took M. for his once-a-year “well” visit with our pediatrician. Please understand– I love our pediatrician. But as I sat in the office listening to crying and coughing children, and tried to stop M. from rolling on the floor, I had an idea. It’s time for The World of Children’s Medicine to Continue reading
