The Sound of Silence
In spite of the title of this post, I’m not listening to the Simon and Garfunkle song, but to nothing. Michael loves classical music and instrumentals, but I don’t know exactly what he has on right now. As for me, I like older popular music from the ‘80s and ‘90s. Go ahead; call me an […]

Team Spirit – My Drafty Little Room
When I need solitude, I go to my writing room, which is fairly little and a bit drafty. A couple of years ago, I was inspired by writing community team spirit. We’re all working on books and most of the time, we’re pretty nice to each other. We all tend to learn from each other […]

Is she going to hang up on me or will she meet me for an interview? “You’re Hyacinth […]

To the Year
This one was kind of hard for Michael and me to agree on, but we did in the end. “So,” I asked, “if you could time travel to any year, which one would it be?” “I’d like to meet the Romans,” he said. “I’d also like to meet Jesus Christ, so I’d like to go […]

Michael on the Beach
This post will be disappointing to many as there is no actual picture included. I write under a pseudonym and prefer not to share personal photos. My favorite picture that I’ve taken is of Michael. He’s standing on the beach with the ocean behind him and mountains in the background. He’s wearing a blue T-shirt […]
