Will write for yarn.
Ok, I admit it. The title has nothing at all to do with this post. In fact, it has little meaning beyond being a play on the title of a song. The reference will be understood by only a few privileged folk, and I hope the version of the song that first comes to mind [...]
“My name is Jennifer, and I’m addicted to comment threads.”
“Hi, Jennifer.”
It started innocently enough.
Or not.
Look, I’m a black hole of need, okay? If some brilliant person wants to throw down the gauntlet and have a little back and forth wordplay, I’m all over it. I live to be clever. I need the affirmation that my [...]
I’m in the process of printing out all the posts on this blog so I can look at them as a whole. Essentially, I’m copying and pasting everything into one gigantic Word document. And I’ll be damned if I don’t have a book’s worth of words.

“barely on pot roast”
“knitted placenta”

lady bugs amass on the streaky, smeary window.
Tendrils of ivy
poke through the 100 year old gaps in this house,

My mate, ever the funny one, told me one time, “We love ourselves, but we don’t think we’re worth it.” He was absolutely right, about both of us. I do battle with the doubtful voice in my head daily, although I am a quitter and usually give up after the first feeling of inadequacy.
