Some writers are magical, organized creatures that complete a piece, post links from their website, push it out on social media and keep their beautiful, shiny digital portfolio in top shape at all times. Oh, and then there’s me (and plenty other writers) who write things at 2am, post all the things on Twitter, Facebook […]

I remember securing my newborn child into her car seat for the first time, fastening her in and double-checking every strap before leaving the hospital.
