A Fading Friendship

A Fading Friendship

Best friends, inseparable, until one day they weren't. Two boys in my neighborhood have gone their separate ways, and I don't know why. Or what will happen next.

Tick Tock

Time moves differently in a warm, still room. Liam counts the minutes to escape, certain it will last forever. The clock has other ideas. A short tale about the daydream we never quite outgrow—the one where freedom is always just a few minutes away.

To Boldly Split That Infinitive

I lost a point in college for writing "to boldly go." Turns out the grammar guides say otherwise, and I've been splitting infinitives ever since. Join me as I take a friendly swing at one of the most persistent grammar myths in the English language. Where did it come from? Why won't it die? And what do Chicago, Dreyer, and a certain starship captain have to say about it? Pull up a chair. This won't hurt a bit. 📖 Read To Boldly Split That Infinitive on my website [https://dkwall.com/musings/to-boldly-split-that-infinitive/?utm_source=transistor_fm&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=musings_and_tales&utm_term=podcast&utm_content=to_boldly_split] Hello, I'm D.

Note to Self

I promised my Ever Patient Partner in Life I'd do something. I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget. You can probably guess what happened next. The curse of to-do lists strikes again.
