It seems writers are always talking about voice. Finding your voice, choosing a voice for a story… and even, on some occasions, hearing voices.

Last night we took the boys Trick-or-Treating with some friends and had a great time. I didn’t know whether Monkey would be able to keep up with the four- to seven-year-old crowd on his little two-year-old pirate legs, but he was a champ. I don’t think he cares much about the candy yet — last  […]

Most often things that might happen, and would be so devastating that the person would never recover. Falling down  […]
