The Writing Journey: My New Office!

March 15, 2019 by Michele Pariza Wacek 4 Comments

I have a dirty little secret to share. For years, my office was in my bedroom. While there are many things I love about my house, one thing I don’t love is that it’s only two bedrooms. Sure, they are HUGE bedrooms (our house has a very open floor plan with tons of windows and […]
