Just Write Already

I started off September by getting into a very disciplined routine of exercise and hitting my word quota for the day. I’ve also given up wheat. I’m not allergic to gluten, but I do believe there are goodreasons to get rid of as much genetically-altered wheat from my diet as possible. I’m also trying to be better about getting up, stretching, and moving for ten minutes out of every hour.

Thirteen Years

I remember clearly all of the emotions that I felt then. And when I look at what is happening in the world today, I wonder if we’ve made any headway at all inmaking this wo...
