you thought I didn’t really notice. But I did. I wanted to high-five you.
Yesterday I had a pair of brothers in my store. One was maybe between 15-17. He was a wrestler at the local high school. Kind of tall, stocky and handsome. He had a younger brother, who was maybe about 10-12 years old. The…

WatchThis is great. My entire ‘writing’ process is doodling. The biggest creative dry spell of my life was predicated on the move to a word processing program as my sole writing tool. Short but very sweet. Give it a watch.
