Not now. Not again.
I thought this pain was in my rear view mirror… but suddenly it’s crashed through the windshield.
That’s agony. It will sneak up on you. Then it will stop you in your tracks.
Been there? (more…)

Watching all of those Disney movies while growing up can really give a girl misconceptions. I don’t know about anyone else but a guy never tracked me down and asked me to marry him just because I had left my shoe at his house. Nor did I ever stumble upon an enchanted castle in the middle of the woods with a cursed prince waiting inside. Don’t get all upset just because I’m bashing on those movies a bit. I loved them when I was a kid (still do!)… even if they are liars. (more…)

YAY FOR AWKWARD TOPICS!
Okay, so if you’re a guy — you were specially selected to receive this message. No, really.
I chose ya because you are in various stages of relationships… looking forward, in the middle of, or looking back.
You may have noticed I’m writing a book for girls, to be released in 2013. And every girl wants to get inside a guy’s head. And of course I’m in Ethan’s head (and not just in the nagging way) but I need more input from guys!
I’m working on the chapter about what guys want in a girl. And I’m gettin’ a vote out there: How “experienced” do guys want their girls to be when they marry them?
Yup, that’s right, I warned you this was awkward!
So anyway. Feel free to leave a comment. Or message me away from everyone. Or email me. Writebrained(at)gmail(dot)com.

The conversation was getting heated, and Tyler was trying to keep his temper in check. However, despite his valiant efforts, “#^%*” came out of his mouth. He immediately hung his head in shame.
“I promised I would stop that.”
As the Chemistry test was being passed down the row, Jessie began to worry. Okay, so maybe worry was an understatement. She was sweating, and profusely at that. (more…)
What are you doing for God’s honor today?

Have you ever noticed that the best movies are those that cause us to experience every emotion? They leave us on the edges of our seats yelling at our television screens. They teach us lessons about life and allow us to walk away motivated.
Like any good movie, my life started out with a sad beginning.

Happy New Year, RTF-ers! What kind of wonderful things did you do to welcome this new year?
And how long do you think it will take for you to get used to writing “2012″ on papers? Personally, it tends to take us about a month. Give or take a month…
