This is a song that, it turns out, very few people know by name. I am weirdly fond of it. Partly because the band is the Teddybears (who are Swedish and strange and for some reason tend to be pictured with the heads of bears…) and partly because the chorus gets stuck in my head, […]

How You Write a Synopsis
May 16, 2013
by Kandace Mavrick
First you spend an entire day writing (and rewriting) three hundred words. Then, just at the point where you’re going crazy and starting to see things in the text that aren’t there you ask someone else to read it. Hopefully they will say something nice like, I’d read that. Hopefully they won’t say things like, […]

Starships Were Meant to Fly

by Kandace Mavrick
We’re making a slight detour from the actual order of the playlist because this song has been stuck in my head all week and I needed to share that with you. Because I’m nice. Thoughtful.
