I wrote this in 2003, when I was thinking about writing a book about my childhood. I dropped the project after quickly running out of lighthearted stories to tell. This piece if writing has never been online… until now. It is about the time when I realized that my family reacted to the fire alarm going off very differently than other families did.

I wrote this piece in 2003, when I was toying with the idea of writing a book about my early childhood. I didn’t get very far and soon lost interest in completing it. This piece of writing has never been posted online… until now. The events in piece of writing took place in the late 1970s.
I read “We Eat in Front of the TV Now” on episode 25 of my Words of Jen podcast.
This piece of writing started out as a series of tweets that I posted on Twitter on July 24, 2017. Later, I moved it to a Tumblr account that no longer exists, and now it has been moved here. It is about a strange thing that happened when the smart light bulb in the bird room woke up my cockatiels.

I wrote this on July 24, 2017, as a series of tweets on Twitter. Then, I moved it to a Tumblr blog that no longer exists. It is about what happened when some random person connected their TV to a smart light bulb that was in the room where my cockatiels were sleeping.

After completing Chapter I of the Season Journey, I decided to push myself to finish Chapter II as quickly as possible. Progress was made at a reasonably fast rate… until I hit Level 60. For whatever reason, the grind from Level 60 to Level 70 took longer than I wanted it to.
One thing that helped speed up my progress through Chapter II was that I’d already completed a few of the objectives.
I wrote “Toxic Comment Section Made Me Stop Listening to a Podcast” something during the Summer of 2017, on a Tumblr blog that no longer exists. It is about my thoughts while listening to a local radio “podcast” that didn’t moderate comments that came from live callers.

I wrote this earlier this year, probably in the summer of 2017, on a Tumblr blog that no longer exists. It is about a local radio show “podcast” that I was enjoying…. until the toxic call-in comment section made me stop listening to it.

I wrote a poem called “In Times of Tragedy” on May 23, 2017, on a Tumblr blog that no longer exists. The poem was my way of expressing what I was feeling after hearing that yet another gun massacre had occurred in the United States.

I wrote this poem on May 23, 2017, on a Tumblr account that no longer exists. I wrote it after hearing about yet another massacre that happened because a man who was angry obtained a gun and decided to slaughter people.
Every time this happens, Congress offers “thoughts and prayers”, and does nothing.
