Silence Is Status Quo
Shelly Hassett is the featured writer for this month’s post. Shelly is twenty-four years old. She has a B.S. in Environmental Studies and teaches elementary school science.

The Extraordinary Ordinary Day
Sometimes an idea comes to me and even though I’m working on other projects the idea screams so loud it forces me to sit down and give it a chance. When I sent this story to my husband who was out of town, he told me he liked it, but it worried him. Was my health okay? I reminded him of my writer’s brain. We’ve joked about it for years. The game of what if that fuels my novels also makes life interesting in the real world. It can help me recognize the extraordinary in an ordinary day.
