Bad Love Triangles

I was reading a book recently and found myself irked by the “so-called” love triangle. I’m not comfortable mentioning the name of the book and don’t try to figure it out by looking on my Goodreads “currently reading” list because I did not add it!! While the novel itself was generally entertaining, the love triangle…

writer’s block

When you can’t think of anything to write about on your blog! Really sucks when the goal is to post one a week and it’s been almost two.  Irritating when you’re trying to build your social media platform and you can’t think of anything to say. Terrified I will never come up with a blog topic…

In this scene from Just Friends With Benefits, as Stephanie hooks up with her crush for the first time, she cannot get her mind to shut down: I had psyched myself up for being with him the night before, but my bravado disappeared the instant he declined my advances, and fear and insecurity took its…
