Sticks and Stones

I had a 6 degrees moment at work a while back when I found out that a coworker's son's girlfriend is also a staff writer by day who blogs at night to keep the creative juices flowing. I checked out her blog, and discovered that the main difference between us is that her blog is well written and funny. Her blog, Sticks and Stones, follows basically the same premise as mine. That is, she writes about whatever she feels like, but the "life lessons" theme ties it all together in a way that gives it a coherence that Sleepless in Seattle lacks. I'm not sure how applicable many of these life lessons are, but I like to read this blog because I think I can take away some writing lessons.
