It will never be too late to finish this post.
I started writing a post today. This is not that post. That post is now in the ever-growing pile of drafts that I never, ever finish. I decided to pull this one out of the pile, just for fun.
The King’s Daughters
I have a little project I’m working on. I don’t know if I should share it; and, quite frankly, I don’t know if you’re likely to even care, but I’m experimenting with the idea of a blog as a place I just brain dump whatever is on my mind. You know, just to see what [...]

Welcome to the second installment of Rambling Reads. We are reading Naked, Drunk, and Writing by Adair Lara. You are welcome to join in at any time, whether by reading along or just sharing your thoughts on what you happen to find here. Today’s post is on Chapter 3: The Elements of a Successful Essay. [...]
We Interrupt This Book Club…
… to bring you a short apology. I’m done chapter 3 of Naked Drunk and Writing, and had some plans for this week’s post – unfortunately those plans did not include an evening of solo parenting on Wednesday night (totally forgot that the hubby was off to the NAC). So rather than get all tied [...]

The Ad Hoc Book Club: Naked, Drunk, and Writing
Welcome to the first (non-)meeting of The Ad Hoc Book Club! As mentioned in this post, we are reading Adair Lara’s Naked, Drunk, and Writing: Shed Your Inhibitions and Craft a Compelling Memoir or Personal Essay. So how does the book club work? Well, since I have never been in a book club, I’ve decided [...]
Naked, Drunk, and Writing
How’s that for a title? It’s not mine, it’s from a book I just picked up at the library. And it’s awesome (the book, that is). So awesome that I was only three pages in before I ordered a copy online. So awesome that the writing reminds me of some of my best blog posts. [...]
Do you hear what I hear?
If you do any writing, you’ve probably heard this before, but this is the first time I’ve tried it: I got DH to read aloud a piece I’m submitting to the Canada Writes Edible Non-Fiction Challenge, and found at least four things that I wanted to change in a 300-word manuscript that I thought was [...]
A Cluttered Mind
[Sidenote: Today is not just Tidy-Up Tuesday, it's also Two-Post Tuesday. Check out my very first post on Losing It in Ottawa!] Tidy-Up Tuesday is usually about tidying stuff, but I thought I’d take a different tack today and talk about ideas. Get them? Me too. And I’m hoping that since Sara likes them, she [...]
