Previously, I’ve answered the questions Brett Goldstein poses on his podcast Films to Be Buried With. First, I kept to the premise – movies. Then I answered the questions about TV shows. This time, my answers will all be books. What was the first-ever book you read? — I don’t know the answer for sure,Continue reading “Books to Be Buried With, Part One”

The Bookworm Pills
The image below came through my Instagram feed recently, and it caught my attention as a fun writing/reading question. Often, my writing buddy and I talk about our characters as though they are living, breathing people – when you put so much time and energy into something, someone, it’s hard to think of them asContinue reading “The Bookworm Pills”
My Life with Donald Duck
When I was a toddler, my parents found a stuffed Donald Duck toy at a garage sale for twenty-five cents. I don’t know the details of the story – if I found it and begged for it, or if they just thought I’d like it. Regardless, it would become my favorite of all my toys.Continue reading “My Life with Donald Duck”
TV Shows to Be Buried With, Part Two
Here are the answers to the second six questions Goldstein asks on his podcast. To read the first six, see last week’s post. What is the sexiest TV Show? — Queer as Folk (the 1999-2005 Showtime series). And not just because there is sex in the show (which there is quite a lot – IContinue reading “TV Shows to Be Buried With, Part Two”
TV Shows to Be Buried With, Part One
When I did the original blog posts about Brett Goldstein’s podcast Films to Be Buried With, I kept thinking – if I could include a TV show, this category would be SO much easier to respond to (looking at you, ‘most relatable’ question). So I thought, why not answer the same questions with TV shows?Continue reading “TV Shows to Be Buried With, Part One”
Love Letter for a Writing (and Reading) Buddy
I still remember when I took my first creative writing course in undergrad and the terror I felt when I learned about workshop and that we’d be doing this in class. Other people would read what I wrote. For the first time. Ever. In my life. And then talk about it in front of me.Continue reading “Love Letter for a Writing (and Reading) Buddy”
Green Bay Café Crawl: Part Two
Last week, I talked about five cafés in my city that I’ve been to before. For this week, I explored new places (four cafés, a tea house, and a spot I randomly stumbled onto). Crystal Coffee Café and Beanery*2625 Packerland DrMon – Fri 6 a.m. – 2 p.m.; Sat 7 a.m. – 1 p.m.; SunContinue reading “Green Bay Café Crawl: Part Two”
Green Bay Café Crawl: Part One
I’ve always loved a good coffee shop. It’s my vibe, I guess. I prefer a local shop, preferably with mismatched furniture, plates, and mugs. Local art on the walls. A place where you can sit and study or read or write for hours. My first love from these experiences was and will always be chaiContinue reading “Green Bay Café Crawl: Part One”
Green Bay Mural Crawl
For a lot of people who don’t live in this city, when they hear our name, they probably tend to think football. If you asked them what else we might have, chances are that artists are low on that list, if they’re mentioned at all. However, we have a thriving artist community here – weContinue reading “Green Bay Mural Crawl”
Green Bay Bookstore Crawl
I have a rather long commute to work, and when people ask me why I don’t move to the city where I work, I joke that I could never live in a city that can’t sustain a bookstore. Honestly, it’s half a joke. (The other not-so-jokey part is how expensive said city is, especially sinceContinue reading “Green Bay Bookstore Crawl”
