It Started With Launching My Own Little Publication Since first scrawling words with crayons, I never guessed I could actually make money doing this. But I needed more than crayons to get my writing career off the ground. I thought I needed a website, right? But after starting a website and writing for my own blog, it felt like posting […]
Welcome to the 21st Century, May I Check Your Bloodstream? The crescent moon beamed over the crystalline Chicago skyline. We sped through the city’s veins until we reached the heart of Lincoln Park.
