Paging Doctor Wojo

By Michele Wojciechowski on November 12, 2020

My husband and I were talking recently, and it turns out that I’ve missed my calling. Instead of being a writer, I should have been a doctor. Not because I’d be great at medical procedures. I am so weak-stomached that I can’t even watch when I get my own blood taken. When my friends in […]

What Day Is It?

By Michele Wojciechowski on October 1, 2020

I never thought I’d be this way. At least not until I retired. But let’s face it—writers never really retire. They tend to drop dead at their desks. I’d actually like to go in my sleep. So perhaps I’ll fall asleep on my desk—and then drop dead. Though I don’t want that to happen for […]

Purging Piles of Paper

By Michele Wojciechowski on September 2, 2020

As a writer, I have a big problem. It’s not writer’s block. (Sometimes it is, but we won’t tempt the fates by talking about it.) It’s not thinking about what to discuss at the water cooler. (I work from home, and my dogs can’t talk…yet.) It’s not even trying to figure out what outfits I’ll […]

It’s the End of the World as We Know It …Literally

By Michele Wojciechowski on August 14, 2014

We all have various roles in life. For me, I’m a wife, friend, relative, writer, helper…the list could go on and on. I’m also a member of the Grammar Police. I can’t help it. Working as a writer has made me see grammar errors as glaring mistakes in the history of humankind. Or at least […]

Purging Piles of Paper: A New Year’s Proclamation

By Michele Wojciechowski on January 11, 2013

Regular readers of this column may remember how I wrote last year about not making any New Year’s resolutions. You know, like losing weight, exercising more, or getting organized. But as I sit here looking at my paper-laden home office, one word comes to mind: firetrap.
