Happy Midwinter!
One Good Paragraph
Sometimes, we writers churn out a sentence, paragraph, or passage that we particular like or that strikes us a certain way. That happened to me yesterday and I thought, I like that! I think I'll share it! … Then, Maybe we should all consider sharing more snippets of our work to the wider world.

The end is just the beginning.
Snowed In

Adrift
A poem.
Life and Loss
Existential musings on an introspective year of mourning.
