Challenge Your Beliefs – Pt. 5a

Your greatest tool as a writer is the ability to seek out the odd and absurd. Great stories don’t come from an ordinary life, but the extraordinary things that happen yet seem like nothing at the time. This weekend a combination of that “toe tucking” commercial and someone’s comment had…
