Will write for yarn.
This is a piece from my “creative” blog. I have no idea why I initially separated the work. Perhaps because that other stuff is darker, less conversational. It could continue to stand alone as a short fiction piece or it might be the beginning of a longer story. We shall see.

Facebook is convincing me that we are at the end of any possible advancement as a species.
Take the “We’re Related” application.
Essentially, you can add your relatives, who then add theirs, etc., so you can see exactly why that nephew of yours is a little off, what with his parents being second cousins and everything.
I once [...]
I plan to make this the world’s most poorly planned and quickly executed blog post in history.
I drove to New Jersey Friday while listening to Wigfield by Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, and Paul Dilello, and found myself transported to a land in which, instead of passing big rigs with Jesus slogans plastered on them, I [...]
I had planned, for your listening pleasure, to share the delights of “Sex on Fire” by Kings of Leon, and “Savior” by Rise Against.
But ridiculous band managers who don’t recognize free publicity when they see it have hindered me.
So instead, I will post my friend Will’s weird take on Subterranean Homesick Blues. He wrote the [...]
It’s hot and my feet are old. It used to be that I had time to make myself into a girl, but now it’s all I can do to make myself get up. All I want right now is to put down this laundry and this sad life and put on lip gloss that smells [...]
I’m busy chopping up pieces of paper and trying to assemble something like a coherent story, or a set of notecards, or at least some coasters from it, and in the mean time, I am SUCKING like a suckling pig sucks on an apple, or maybe more like a sucking chest wound.
Between teaching myself HTML [...]
Dear Daughter,
I hope you’ll forgive me for so public a display as this. Maybe you’ll never even see it. If it does what I hope it will, you will instead receive a hand-written letter of apology and remorse from me.
See, I’m so used to typing, it’s hard to sit and write. But maybe this habitual [...]
What? What’s that you’re saying?
It’s FIBER Friday?
Huh.
Anyhoo, all you moms out there know about multitasking, right? I mean, we think nothing of brushing our teeth while sitting on the toilet and paying bills, or breastfeeding and typing (otherwise, the acronym “nak” wouldn’t exist).
We wash dishes and help with homework while we cook supper and listen [...]
The other day I read a Facebook comment that said, “I want a school fundraiser that gives me something back, you know? Something useful, like coupons.”
Normally, what I do with the fundraising sheets that have come home from our local schools is a) misplace them until the day before it’s due b) write a check [...]
I finished my story, and posted it over on Blogher.
I’m not thrilled with it, just like everything else I do. There’s more to tell, more to sort through, more to figure out. I want to be able to tell you I am all better, but I’m not there yet.
PPD can disguise itself as normal parenting [...]
