My Dog, the Night Owl

It’s time for a classic Wojo’s World. Enjoy this popular column from a couple of years ago. I’m a morning person. I’m not exactly sure when this happened because I have clear memories of my Mom having to do everything short of setting off a bomb in my room to get me up when I […]

What a Mouthful

It’s time for a classic Wojo’s World. Enjoy this popular column from a couple of years ago. I learned a lot from the pop music of the 1980s. You can wear your sunglasses at night. (I actually tried this in 7th or 8th grade when the song was out, and in retrospect, not only did […]

A View from a Writer’s Brain

Years ago, a guy asked me if he could shadow me for a day. He was interested in what a writer does, and he wanted to watch me. Unlike other professions where shadowing can help and get someone excited about a profession, writing is not quite that. Or at least that’s what I told him […]

Stop the Stalking Already!

Remember back in the day, when you could make an appointment—any kind of appointment—and you would write it in your calendar? Then, you know, you’d show up. Easy Peasy. Not anymore.
