Middle of a Book
In an attempt to be more positive about the middle, I am challenging myself to make all Sunday posts about the good parts of the middle. Or, at least a lighter take on the middle. I adore being in the middle of a book. There is a certain magic to be in someone else’s, whether […]
Avoiding the Middle
Something is wrong with me. Just admitting that something is wrong, is a very difficult thing for me to do. I like to solve a problem before I can even admit to myself that something was wrong. If we can fix it before everyone (including me) knows, we can avoid the messy middle. I am […]
