This weekend my friend Caitie and I went to see The Decemberists perform in Chicago. The Decemberists is one of my favorite bands, particularly because of lead singer/songwriter Colin Meloy’s imaginative writing. I think Colin was probably like me as… continue reading »
Relationships are always in flux
I told Nate I’ve forgotten how to write prose–perhaps I have. I’ve been writing poetry a lot lately, mostly for class, and I’ve written a lot of news stories. I haven’t had time to write creative prose. This blog may… continue reading »
Title Track: Shall steal no more
This wasn’t something I wanted to write about. In fact, as I sit here, there’s still that urge inside of me to let it go. To just let it go. … But I can’t. See, everyone has those certain “taboo… continue reading »
