A few weeks ago, my first official post as a senior editor at Gender Across Borders appeared. I wrote about Shame and Breast Cancer in Saudi Arabia, inspired by an article on the Ms. Magazine Blog. I wrote the post… Read more ›
More Changes to the Site
If you’re an RSS fiend and you haven’t stopped by Small Strokes lately, please do so. I completely revamped the theme, and I’m really happy with it. It’s more website-y than journalistic. And it’s totally girly. Also, I’ve (or I’ve… Read more ›

So… I Got Spammed Again…
… or maybe I just never actually fixed the problem in the first place. I was working with my host to fix the problem with these spam links, and they said it would be fixed if I removed the Global… Read more ›
Running on To-Do Lists, Compliments, and Love
I’ve posted some posts here, but, let’s face it, I haven’t really blogged on here in almost a month. Many of you have asked what I’ve been up to, and have told me that you miss my blogging and feel… Read more ›
Spammed
So. Small Strokes was spammed. There are links to purchase drugs showing up in almost a years’ worth of posts. And I didn’t put them there. I contacted my host company, and they discovered that the problem was with the… Read more ›

The Observation Deck: Become the Other
Interestingly enough, the first card I pulled from The Observation Deck was “Become the Other.” For creative writers, this card is all about becoming your characters. Talk like them, walk like them, dress like them, eat like them. See how… Read more ›
The Observation Deck
My mom bought this Observation Deck for me when I was in… maybe… 6th grade? Whenever it was, it was when I first got really into writing. This kit contains a deck of 50 cards that say things like “observe… Read more ›
Happy Birthday to Me!
It is my birthday today! As Tim said, I am officially closer to 30 than I am to 20! I think that’s great, personally. I can’t wait to leave the unrest of my early 20’s behind and move on to the… Read more ›
