#WW Blog the 51st: Beginning of the End
What I’ll take away from my year as CSSC Writer Laureate is perhaps for the first time in my life, a strong belief in myself. It may surprise some of you to learn that most of the time I don’t think much of me. I’ve been told I hide it well. But there has been something truly transformative about creating this blog week after week, forcing myself to look at what was going on in my head and continually examine and re-examine my writing process. So there it is. I’m a better writer, a more humble writer, and I like myself a whole lot more than when we began last June. Continue reading

#WW CSSC Writer Wednesday | Blog the 41st: The Raisin Bread of Me
On the huge plus side, they always ask what I’m working on and have the good grace to appear both excited and deeply awed by my response. It makes me feel special and a girl can really never get too much of that. So I’ll take the rah-rah and figure out the toilet scrubbing and wine payments for myself, simply because my friends are so much better at making me feel positive and special than I am myself.
