What Does Writer’s Block Feel Like?

Author sidenote: A return to just plain ol’, creative writing to expand the brain.

My environment had stripped me of my natural brilliance, and I never wished to commit my crime. It was, rather, a strokeContinue reading “First Guest Post: The Tell-Tale TI-84”

What My Desk Thinks of at Night

Night One: I think today was a good day. Pretty productive, I might say. She came home, slammed the heavy backpack right next to my left cabinet on the floor, and only watched 30 minutes of randomness on Youtube before she opened a new tab and started her Spanish homework. She only took two half-hourContinue reading “What My Desk Thinks of at Night”
