Writers Should Work for Free
Writing for free is a contentious subject. Many writers vehemently object to any free writing requests, and with good reason. Most writers (and all creatives, really) face an onslaught of requests for free work in exchange for recognition, or for a good cause. These requests undervalue the work that goes into writing, and the sentiment can make it hard for writers to maintain steady work, or earn a living wage.

Love Your Cashier
I've now been working as a cashier for almost four months and I can honestly say that I love it. It's hands down the best job I've ever had which is saying quite a lot. I love my boss, my coworkers, and the work itself. The work is easy and has a nice rhythm to it. However, as with ever job I'm sure, there's always that one thing that I don't really care for: the customers. Sure, some customers are really nice people and always hold really great conversation with me, but nine times out of 10, customers are rude, angry, or just downright have a bad attitude about everything. Even though I haven't been a cashier for very long, I've dealt with quite a few awful customers.

Read Like a Butterfly, Write Like a Bee
I have always wanted to write. Even before I knew how, I was already scribbling on the blank spaces of all the books lying around the house—including the Bible. The love for writing was never just about the thoughts-to-words dynamic, it was the physical side of it as well: the paper textures, the pens, the ink on the pages, the keys and the typing sounds.
