Updates and a friendly warning
First, the warning, which may superficially look like running away with my tail between my legs. But it’s not. Please don’t be confused. If in doubt, consult a trained professional. The warning is that June’s working review may not be … Continue reading
Working Review: Forest for the Trees
By way of explaining why I chose this month’s writing prompt, I must offer an awkward confession of personal behavior quirks: sometimes, I like to blindfold myself while I write. This is marginally less weird than it sounds. It works … Continue reading
Working Review: Our Daily Toast
This time, I am headed over to Toasted Cheese, which is a literary journal, writers’ forum, and writing prompt provider. They have a fantastic monthly calendar, which provides prompts for each day. March particularly impressed me because every Saturday was … Continue reading

Working Review: Letters from Abroad
(ETA: Title changed to save me from unintended search hits.) First off, this was not the column I planned to write. That column was all about scenes. It was very informative, or so I like to think. But it ended … Continue reading
Working Review: Worth 1000 Words
I figured out what I am trying to do with the working reviews. It’s not really about the books that I’m reviewing. That’s mostly just an afterthought and a nod to where I got a particular exercise. What I am … Continue reading
