Minds out of the gutters, people. This is a writing blog.The universe works in a strange series of conincidences. I’ve been pondering this for a few days now (yes, I actually use words like ‘pondering’ in every-day speech), but unable to put it into...

A month ago I started a new job. This is only my third job in ten years – I was at the last one for three and the previous one for seven. Both jobs had their good points, hence the reason I kept each for so long. But they also both had one distinct disadvantage:...

It’s a phrase I’ve heard again and again, and honestly I went through a spell where I didn’t think it was true. Don’t get me wrong – I love to read. Summer vacations when I was in school were spent in the library and checking out 5-10...
