About what sandra thinks

Sandra is a writer, sometimes blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little. Sandra lives in the Northeastern U.S. but dreams of an oceanfront home in Italy, but she would settle for a non-oceanfront home in Italy. She loves books, brutal honesty, coffee, and the color black. She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.

and… the plot thins.

Posted on 13 July 2017 by what sandra thinks

That’s right. It doesn’t thicken. I write and sometimes, I even write well. But I have a problem with my plots. They’re thin. They’re boring and predictable. They’re just… weak. I have never made an outline for any story I’ve … Continue reading →

the poet. (revisited)

Posted on 12 July 2017 by what sandra thinks
