Not Posh, Just A Little Spice

My friend Susan Bono over at Tiny-Lights, a Journal of Personal Narrative, asked recently about how writers spice up their work. Here's what I said.

By the way, my favorite spice is fresh ground black pepper. Which has nothing whatever to do with this post at all. I just threw that in.

When You Gotta Go (and write about it)

Sometimes we want to talk about something just because it's fun, or because we want to vent or (try to) be witty, or we just have to get something out of our heads, and because we are writers, of course, we do so in print. That's what I did when I got very, very tired of being ribbed about needing to use the, ahem, facilities, seemingly all the time. It's a short read (just like all visits to the aforementioned facilities). And, you get to discover, if you haven't already, a nifty little site for short bursts of personal writing.
