The Audition Experience
I grew up in the 90’s attending shows at Midland Center for the Arts. I fondly remember being dressed in my Sunday best walking the red carpet to my assigned seat in the auditorium to watch ballets, operas, and plays, to name a few productions. There was a joy in keeping the program or getting signatures…
NaNoWriMo 2022
National Novel Writing Month is happening soon, Nov. 2022 will be here in a NaNo second. This is only my second year participating, but I know a little about what to expect. I will get words written. I will meet daily word goals. I will win word races. I will chat with like-minded writers about…
A Love Letter To Atreyu
I woke up in 2022 and made a decision that “if one of my favorite bands visits the area I will see them.” I am totally ready to rock and excited to say I will be seeing Atreyu this June at the Fillmore in Detroit. Did I say VIP tickets in June, hey! If I…
Highly Sensitive Person
I am a highly sensitive person (HSP) and I discovered this about myself, as an adult, even though this is who I have been my whole life: someone with high sensitivity. Could it be as simple as: “because the sky is blue it makes me cry?” Yes, I agree that it can be relatable to…
There’s No Place Like Home and It’s Not Kansas
My family and I have weathered the storm of the pandemic, and it has been an ever-changing tornado of hard decisions over and over again. Not just for my family though, many families have endured some things that may not have been fathomable pre-pandemic. I never thought my family would need to move to Kansas…
Sip Happens
My name is Jenni, and my alcoholic mother plays a role in how I drink alcohol. I wish that I could just have nights that are chalked-up as drunken mistakes. But because my mom drank and abused alcohol everyday for the majority of her adult life, I am not able to have “drunken mistakes.” They…
I Quit FB and I’m Not Going Back
It might sound out of this world, but who do you know that is not on the internet? Take yourself to a time before the internet or if you cannot connect with us older generations, just envision what it would be like. No smartphone, no tablet, no laptop, no computer, no online gaming, plus many…
I am Accepting Defeat
November 28, 2021 Dear NanowriMotown, I was afraid the holiday would steal my word-stride, it would kick me off the wagon and make it much more daunting to meet the 50K winning word count by end of month. I now have two days left with 12,313 words to go. That means I need to get…
NaNoWriMo 2021

Dear Whitney Cummings,
Dear Whitney Cummings, I’m reaching out to you because you’re a great writer and I look up to you as a published author. After I finished reading your book, I’m Fine…and other lies, there was a weight lifted off my shoulders knowing that you’re fine, and I had a self-realization that I’m fine too. I…
