Trash v. Treasure

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. At least, that’s how the saying goes . . . but sometimes our trash can also be our own darn treasure, non? Why should “another man” get all the benefits of your trash? That’s right, you seize that trash and you make it your own treasure. (Insert ironic z-snapContinue reading “Trash v. Treasure”

Hook Me.

First, before you can proceed with giving advice, you must watch this video: I’m in Phase 6. Asking that horrible “what now???” question. I’ve read everything I can about Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Katniss Everdeen, Lucy Pevensie, Bella Swan (yeah, yeah, get over it), Cimorene of Linderwall, Veralidaine Sarrasri, Meliara Astiar, and a whole slew of even-lesser known protagonists.Continue reading “Hook Me.”
