Episode 1: Have I Taken Halloween Too Far?
Based on Have I Taken Halloween Too Far? from November 30, 2018. It’s somehow mid-October already. The weather is getting cooler, the leaves are changing, and I am 110% in the autumn headspace. I’m embracing my most basic self. I’m ready for decorative gourds and warm spices and sweaters. I’m not proud of it,…
Welcome to Love Make Share: The Podcast.
It’s the start of something new. Love Make Share enters the radio age with a new podcast about the things we create and how they create connections between us.
Your smug takes on writing content hurt new writers. Stop it.
There is a growing pattern I’ve noticed of both creators and commentators. More established writers are creating a wildly hostile environment around entry-level writing content and message boards. And it should stop.

The Velveteen Rabbit
Tonight, C’s bedtime story was The Velveteen Rabbit. Fresh from a bath and rosy-cheeked, she curled up under the covers and held her own stuffed bunny close under her chin, her eyes gleaming in the low light. Serene and soft and warm in that way that only tired toddlers get. I have always loved The…
Impressions in the Snow
There have been several big snowfalls in a row this winter. I came home from a rare Sunday spent at the office and could barely get the car into the driveway. I didn’t want to shovel. The teens were occupied, hanging out with their cousins; my wife wanted to nap. I wanted to spend some…

How I Wrote My Best NaNoWriMo Draft Yet
https://youtu.be/mxFmRUFTuM0 I have had a number of successes with National Novel Writing Month – NaNoWriMo. I wrote a novel with only a drawing to guide me, learned some lessons, lost, and won. I’m getting practiced now, and have completed three novels in five years. My hands-down best performance came in April 2021, during Camp NaNoWriMo.…

Simply the Best Peanut Butter
I don’t lightly say that things are “the best” anything. But we’ve been on this peanut butter for a few weeks now and it’s so cheap, so easy to make, and so delicious that I don’t think we’re ever going back to the store-bought kind.
Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits
If you’re counting calories, you may want to become temporarily innumerate. Believe me, it’ll be worth it. These cheddar buttermilk biscuits are comfort food at its best. Flaky, soft, salty, rich, and absolutely the kind of thing where you’ll finish one and immediately reach for another.
