Your mind is a jungle worth exploring; as a writer, you are never alone.
Writing is a solitary activity. Facing the blank page feels daunting. I’ll pass along ideas I use to encourage students and tricks for making writing come alive. Plus idle thoughts on love, death, sex, and food.

I know, I know.
Thanks, Norma, for facing the blank page, day after day; and for filling up lots of those pages with reminders of the pervasiveness and evils of bigotry and sexism; and the continual courage required, in small ways and large, to confront and change. Fran Fevrier
Definitely small ways in my case.
To quote Mother Teresa (a small person): “There are no great things, only small things done with great love.)
Do not assume things. Give the president elect a chance. He may be the best thing the best thing that ever happened to America.
I have no choice but to give him a chance, but the language he used during his run for the presidency does not give me comfort.
