When I purchased my laptop 3 years ago, I always had grand plans to keep things neat and organized. No need to clutter the desktop, right? Get rid of unneeded files in a timely fashion.

Thursday Thoughts: Eve of the Eve
About a year ago, stores were open only for essential items, so yeah, no Christmas shopping.

Short Stories: Minimalist Reading and Writing
I write like I read. I don’t like reading long, drawn-out descriptions of characters and settings, and I’ll often skim the paragraph for the essential points. Always? No, it all depends on the author. This is why, more than likely, that I primarily write short stories. A writer doesn’t have the luxury of pages to … Continue reading Short Stories: Minimalist Reading and Writing
