How does that saying go? You can’t HAVE your cake and EAT it too. I disagree. With summer’s end coming closer, our little children going back to school, and the flurry of activities surrounding this time of year. Busy, busy, busy.

Why not enjoy our last few summer days?

Let’s eat cake and be happy.

WRITER’S BLOCK …

Sometimes the best thing to do for writer’s block is to freewrite. Just scribble random words and phrases, stray thoughts and whatever else comes to mind.

I learned that from my English 101 professor. It helps.

During especially stubborn moments of writer’s block, another helpful tidbit is reading. But not just anything. I read the dictionary. I know! It’s kind of silly, but it works.

Well, gotta go and read the A’s in the dictionary. Things are getting anomalous around here.
