In this episode of Writer Larry Unplugged, I share my insights into the loneliness of writing and how it can sometimes feel like screaming into the abyss. Hopefully this episode will encourage and uplift any of my fellow writers who are struggling. #amwriting #WIP

Hegseth ousts Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George One of the sources said Hegseth wants someone in the role who will implement President Trump and Hegseth's vision for the Army.

BREAKING: Hegseth has fired the Biden-appointed Army Chief of Staff Randy George for failing to carry out Trump's vision of the Army. Perhaps this is connected to the Army investigation of the Apache Kid Rock flyby, which Hegseth closed via Tweet. www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth...

When Did Pajamas Become Public Attire?

Pajamas as streetwear. I, too, have noticed this trend and am appalled. Perhaps because I grew up in a world where a man was not considered fully dressed unless he was wearing a watch and cologne. Thoughts?

FAVORITE SENTENCE WEDNESDAY
"I looked around the room. The walls were painted a pale gold. The sofas and chairs were covered in a pale gold damask. The late afternoon sun’s bounty piled at the windows like bullion. The only real colors in the room were his pink lips and his red silk pajamas."
