We'll get to the specifics in tomorrow's post, but for now, I'd like to acknowledge that number. 306 is the number of people currently following the adventures and antics of This Square Peg! It was official yesterday.

Significant because writing has always been my tool for dealing with personal pain; my longstanding avenue for catharsis. But I didn't want to pick …
Before and After.
Happy to let y'all know that I contributed a piece for my good friend AB's new blog. I also hold the privilege of being the very first contributor for her new baby, which is awesome when you consider how much I love supporting my friends, especially when it comes to writing/blogging. Check it out here, …
This Square Peg, Can You Hear Me?
The title's reference is from here. If you're a fan, allow me to welcome you into my heart forever. If you're a superfan, allow me to move in with you because we're officially besties. It's been a while, hasn't it, since we chatted? And I'd like to imagine that my readers are in a wooded …

Blogtober (Redux) #2: We’re in Iceland, people. Iceland.
So there are places in the international world that I'm intrigued by but haven't really sat down and considered the logistics of going there. Fiji. Galapagos. Greenland. Iceland. Oh, wait. I'm in Iceland as we speak. En route to Frankfurt, we stopped in Reykjavik for my layover. We disembarked and entered some of the coldest …

The Paris in Springtime Bias. (Blogtober #4)
Admittedly, I have this bias. Perhaps you have this bias. When I think about Paris--which you're learning is pretty often--I almost always imagine it covered with spring. Trees bearing light pink blossoms that gently blow in the breeze. Couples walking hand in hand along the River Seine, the light air adding a delicate touch to …
