The Complicated Process of Writing and Living
My first reaction to Mama Kat’s writing prompts this week was, “Oh, I definitely have to do the one about what complicates my life because that’s easy.” Fab Hub raised his eyebrows and looked at me over the top of his glasses like He does. This look usually means one of two things: He is…
