This is for the Birds
By Michele Wojciechowski on July 22, 2021
I grew up in Baltimore City, and my exposure to wildlife in terms of birds was either pigeons, Tweety Bird from the Warner Brothers’ cartoons, or Big Bird on Sesame Street—and he doesn’t even fly! When my husband and I moved to our dream home more than a decade ago, we got all “birded out.” […]

Vegging Out
By Michele Wojciechowski on July 1, 2021
I’m not a full-fledged vegetarian. But sometimes I get pretty darned close. I’ve always been squeamish and easily grossed out. So finding something in my ham or steak or chicken that resembles a vein or artery or muscle… Clunk… Oh, sorry, I fainted there for a minute. Just let me get some blood rushing back […]

I’m Not a Doctor, but I Play One on the Web
By Michele Wojciechowski on May 27, 2021
While I love the Internet, there’s one thing about it that makes me run screaming away from my computer. Is it because I can learn—up to the minute—what crisis is going on in the lives of each and every Kardashian? Nope. Because I keep getting ads that ask if I want to become a million-dollar […]

Snow Blind
By Michele Wojciechowski on February 11, 2021
As I write this, it’s the middle of February, and while I long for spring, there’s something else I could really use right now. A big, honking snowstorm. Yeah, I know. We complain about it when it snows. We shovel it. We hoard food when it’s about to happen. And, as I mentioned, we complain […]

Mothra vs. Wojo
By Michele Wojciechowski on November 5, 2020
It was a normal, sunny day in the land of Wojo. And in her home office, our heroine was reading through some notes on her desk, preparing to write a story. The townspeople—AKA her two dogs—were sleeping peacefully at her feet. It was a good day. Until it arrived…

Scare Tactics
By Michele Wojciechowski on October 29, 2020
I usually write a Halloweenesque column that focuses on the rules of Trick-or-Treating. But with the pandemic and quarantine happening, I figured that I needed a new theme. This year, I’m going to give you tips on What To Do If You Find Yourself In A Horror Movie.

The Write Job, and the Wrong Ones
By Michele Wojciechowski on October 15, 2020
Although I spend time in this column making you laugh, I earn my living writing more than humor. One of the ways I look for work is to sign up on various job boards online. You would think that by just typing in “freelance writer” or “freelance editor,” I could find out about work in […]

A Cut Above the Rest
By Michele Wojciechowski on August 25, 2020
Because we’ve been under quarantine for months now, many of us have hair that’s looking a bit–well, let’s say that sans haircuts or color or blowouts or…you get the picture. Our hair has seen better days. At least I know not to cut it myself. I did that once years ago, and it was a […]
