More dysfunctional than the norm

I have a new favorite show, even though the show's been cancelled for three years. "Arrested Development" is a surprisingly refreshing humorous show. The Bluth's possibly the most dsyfunctional TV family I've seen in a very long time. I can't even begin to describe it. From Gob (pronounced Job), the talentless magician to Lindsay, the …

Can you really believe it?

I haven't written here as often as I'd like, but I'm writing a little more each month, slowly, but surely. I've actually kept the promise I made to write more, even if it's only been in the last few months. Personally I think it's because of the new job, which I won't say I hate, …

Writer In Training- Take One

I am a writer in training. Yes, I admit it. For years I've been writing and for years I've been saying I want to be published. And honestly, I'm sick of saying and not doing. So this is my blog and how I'm going to manage that. I've decided start with a schedule, since that's …
