That One Time I Learned How to Blog From My Phone

by Molly Jo Realy @MollyJoRealy

Okay. Seriously. I have a lot–I mean a lot-to tell y’all. There’s been some travel, some food indulgences, some Happy Planner MoJo, and of course, some writing.

And we’ll get to all of that. Soon. Like, this weekend when I can spread everything out and take awesome-possum photos for y’all while drinking some of that sweet tea I’m so utterly fond of.

But today I need to share with you something I hadn’t experienced before.

Now, I know it existed. But it was like an urban myth I hadn’t paid attention to.

That One Time I Forgot I Was a Writer

by Molly Jo Realy @MollyJoRealy

How Does Your Character Eat?

by Molly Jo Realy @MollyJoRealy

You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she eats, especially on a first date. Can I get a whoot-whoot nod of appreciation here?

Seriously. Think about it. Are they delicate? Do they play with their food? Do they take time to savor every bite? Or do they get right to masticating their steak? Do they take a bite of everything with one forkful? Or push the foods away from each other? Do they douse the meal with salt and other seasonings? Load up with butter? Or take it as … read the rest. . .
