This Writing for An Audience
I have no real purpose behind this writing except to state that when you write for an audience (whether a small one, such as I am currently writing for, or a larger one if you are trying to be published or keeping a blog) the process can be down right frightening.

Cricut Engraving
I receive money for Christmas most years. I do not mean to be hard to shop for, but I guess I am.

The Pursuit of a Higher Degree
With bated breath she waited for the light on the wall to turn green. Her fingers hovered over the keys of the keyboard knowing if she dared to press a key before the timer started, she would be immediately disqualified. Her fingers ached and twitched, ready for action.

Sweltering Summer Season
Summertime in North Carolina always left one feeling as if they were physically wearing the air. The humidity was like a wet blanket, a thick wall of wet heat. The children would run out to play in the morning, and then later in the evening. However, during the hottest part of the day, they would whine to be allowed to play inside in the air conditioning.

Fading Flowers
She went up to the counter to sign in for the day. Each visitor must sign in and out, as that was one of the safety measures the home had in place. She adjusted her purse and placed the wreath she had brought on the counter so she could reach for the pen and leave her John Hancock.
