Today’s NaBloPoMo prompt asks a deceptively difficult question: If you could permanently get rid of one worry, what would it be?
It’s a tricky question because it’s so easy to come up with answers. But one answer holds the key to many of the other problems…
Finally! There’s lots of new promotional material for the upcoming movie adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s classic musical Into The Woods, and I couldn’t be more excited (and scared)!
Aaron Sorkin’s latest series The Newsroom returns tonight for its final season on HBO, and I, for one, am excited. The Newsroom faces a lot of scrutiny and has had some pretty not nice things said about it, some of which I agree with. And yet, I still love it and I’m looking forward to its return.
I mentioned my friend Nicole Dieker the other day, a freelance journalist who developed her niche writing about finances for The Billfold and other publications.

I tend to shy away from hot-button topics, but I wanted to say a little about the recent street harassment video that’s gone viral—especially since I’ve found the perfect response to when someone catcalls. [video]
Today’s #NaBloPoMo prompt is about developing your voice as a writer, and whether you feel you’ve done so. Those are fine questions to consider, so let’s take a look, shall we?
Since I wrote about Halloween costumes the other day, and given that today’s #NaBloPoMo prompt is to write about a favorite holiday memory, I thought I’d post some pictures of couples costumes Alex and I did in past Halloweens. They’re all based, sometimes tenuously, in pop culture, and hopefully you can guess who they are. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
I’m not just a fan of the CBS drama The Good Wife, I also recap the show. Here’s a little love and a little about my latest recap.
Though it’s November, Halloween is still fresh in my mind, and given how proud I am of my costume this year, I’m considering what I love and what’s tricky about the holiday: finding that perfect costume idea.
Can you guess who we are? Read more for some hints.
