How I did it
How to sing karaoke
It took me
1 day
It made me
confident

How I did it: I had four cocktails.  That's the secret.  And I sang with a group of friends.  It may not have been the best thing for those listening, but it made it easier for me. Read how I did it…

How to finish a novel
It took me
3 months
It made me
glorious

How I did it: I was in a novel class, so I had that incentive, which was helpful.  But I just wrote a little bit every day, until the deadline day and then I wrote 10,000 words in one day.  4,000 words a week is a good pace, though. Read how I did it…

I Was Told There'd Be Cake by Sloane Crosley 9 months ago

Sloane Crosley’s book of humorous essays, in the vein of David Sedaris’s work, proves the rule that nothing is funnier than the truth. Her stories of being a young single woman in New York are never dull and never usual and, at times, quite insightful.

I have to say, I only picked up this book because the title cracked me up. That’s a sentiment I can relate to. In this case, I’m glad I judged the book by its cover, because it was the most delightful thing I’ve read in a long time.
