There’s Voodoo at Target Stores to Make You Spend All Your Money
Seriously. There has GOT to be some sort of voodoo at Target. That is the only explanation for how that place traps the most innocent people into these marathon shopping excursions that result in overdrawn bank accounts and hurting feet. First of all, going to Target on a Sunday is the worst. You get there [...]
I Stand on the Shoulders of Giants and I’m Blessed For It
Usually, I don’t blog on Sundays, unless ratchet things happen that I MUST address. But I’m on this 30-day writing challenge. It’s day 7 and I could blog about the most ratchet of things (don’t worry, I have a lot). But today, I gotta talk about how I’m where I am today. I’m 5’4 but [...]

Aspiring TV Writers in DC Area, Check Out the Evans Duo and “In the Writers Room”
This past year has been amazing for me in terms of opportunities. It’s actually been mind-boggling. One of the things I got to do this summer was work with Stacey Evans Morgan, a veteran TV writer and producer in Hollywood. The project we worked on is still top secret but for me, it was a [...]
