1000 words
I wrote 1000 words this week. Actually, more like 1500 words; somewhere in that realm. It doesn’t seem like a lot, probably. I’m sure a lot of writers do that in a day. But to me, it’s like running a 10k. I haven’t written a new project in more years than I care to admit. Continue reading

I dreamed I lost my teeth
I had a dream recently that I lost my teeth. It felt so real. Visceral. In the dream, I was standing in my bathroom, lost teeth rolling around in my mouth like loose pebbles. I stared at my reflection in horror, feeling each lost tooth with my tongue. My mouth was a mangled mess. I Continue reading

Homebody
I am, by my own admission, a homebody. Going out really isn’t my “thing.” Sure, I like to go out to dinner or partake in a social event or two as much as the next person, so I’m not hermit-level, but 6/7 days in the week if I’m not at work, I’m probably at home. Continue reading

AF
So, my real name isn’t Allie Frost. My real name is not a huge secret or anything, so I don’t particularly care if folks know it, but my actual initials are still AF. And I sign everything with my initials. Documents, emails, etc. I do have very poor, distinctive penmanship though, so forgery would be Continue reading

Try
I think it’s a safe bet to say that most folks have heard the saying, “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.” I must admit, I am someone who has been known to try and then give up at the first whiff of an undesirable outcome. Contributing factors often include fear of Continue reading
