Jess’s Addiction

While writing my first novel, I’ve been doing writing exercises to keep my brain working while I can’t figure out what I want my other characters to be doing. Along came Jess who I ended up writing. I wanted to share what I came up with you all to see what you thought of Jess’s

The Heart of It All

This post is dedicated to a very dear friend of mine.  We have never met in person before but we have been friends for about six years now.  We met in a BabyCenter birth month group in 2013, only to have our sons be born on the same day and both be curly headed lefties.
