  • Writer’s Group and Sabbaticals

    I went on a sleepover this weekend. My first since quarantine, in fact. Not that I make a habit of sleepovers. Not since I was like sixteen. Except when I get trapped in town due to crazy snowstorms and six-foot snowdrifts. But I went on a sleepover this weekend. With my writer’s group—or most of…

I have like ten different names for them in my head and everyone calls them something different and every time I say a name, I’m wrong. As you can tell, it…
