5 Strange Beers to Try for National Beer Day
Apparently today is National Beer Day. So in honor of the day, we have some pretty weird beers you may want to challenge yourself to trying out at least once.

10 Book Titles That Would Make Hilariously Terrible Valentine Candy Hearts
I was perusing my GoodReads "to read" list and I spotted a couple of titles that I thought would make hilariously terrible Valentine's Day Candy Hearts.

I’m taking a break from my usual book reviews to provide you with my gift list for the book lover in your life. I thought about doing a review on a holiday themed book, but for some reason the only books I could think of were a book that would make you cry, and another book that would scare your socks off (and we wouldn’t want that, would we?)
How to Finish Your Novel When You Want to Quit
Yesterday, I came across a job for a writer on Craigslist. The headline read, “Need help from a writer for my manuscript.”. It was a cry of desperation. They couldn’t finish editing it, the ad read. They were exhausted and needed help. It struck a chord with me. A part of me was dying to respond to the ad, not with a helping hand but rather a kind word to the writer.
Why Being a Ghostwriter isn’t as Soul-Sucking as You Think
Over the past few weeks, I’ve started down the path of “ ghostwriting “. To be honest, I did not like the idea. I despised the whole concept of allowing someone to put their name next to my work.
