Ever have one of those days when even a speck of dust on the coffee table is enough to irritate you? For me, today is one of those days. Maybe it's just the January 'blahs'. Whatever it is, I wish it would go away. In reality though, 'it' isn't the problem - it's my attitude that needs adjusting. I'm just in a grumpy mood and I need something to cheer me up. Potato chips would help but it's freezing outside (-36 Celsius) and there's no way I'm going out in that temperature just to go to the ...

A thought keeps running round and round my thumping skull (if I hit Delete will I go to sleep ? if I hit Delete will I go to sleep ?). The thought is intoxicating and insane-I think I'm at ...
So if you are a writer and you haven’t lived a life involving weird and wonderful stories where you nearly lost a limb trying to save a friend from a grizzly bear or you haven’t had that many experiences, does it mean that you are not qualified to write? No I definitely don’t think so.
