Writers Club – or, Club, as we called it – was a major part of my high school experience. There are a lot of specific memories I could share from Club. Take our visit to Linda Peckham’s writing class at LCC, for example. Trying not to laugh as adults asked me the motivation behind ”The […]

Wondra’s Autumn Playlist
Music is life. It’s the only thing that touches me through the Depression/Anxiety when they get really bad. It provides release when I feel like I’m going to break and soothes my nerves when everything is trying to crush me. Without music, I wouldn’t be here today. Which is why it kind of surprises me […]

Favourite School Memory #4
CATEGORY: allergies, back to school, band, concert band, ERHS, high school, marching band, memories, nostalgia, school, school trip
A whole lot of my favourite school time memories have something to do with band. I guess that happens when you’re in concert band, marching, band, and pep band. And all your friends are in band too. And you pretty much live in the band room. Man, I was such a band geek! Anywho… Our […]

Release Date Announced: A Lovely Darkness
As any of my friends will tell you, I am not a poet. Or… not much of one, anyway. But I do occasionally dabble – for better or worse – and, when I saw the theme for this anthology, I knew I had to put my neck out there and submit. Boy, was I surprised […]

Favourite School Memory #3
Let’s call this one The First Day of College. Moving into a dorm at Central Michigan University was a big deal for me. My parents were the over-over-protective, controlling types. They never even let me go to 7th grade camp. So… when they found out I’d applied for and been accepted to Central, they were […]

I’m so going to be making loads of these this fall. If you have a favourite crochet headband/ear warmer […]

Favourite School Memory #2
I promised I’d share my favourite school memories with you this week and here is another one: The time we picked up a random stranger at an open house and climbed into his van. The things our mothers didn’t need to know. Lol. We were at a friend’s open house and met this guy called […]
