update
Hi. I’ve moved. You can now find me at http://sherrahbehrens.com.
Thoughts on Inspiration
The following was found while I was packing boxes for my recent move. Judging by the handwriting, the content, and the other things I found with it, I wrote it some time in high school. Sherrah’s Laws of Inspiration Inspiration happens only 1. When you are eating oreos with milk. 2. When you are in … Read more
a conversation

and for my next trick…
Several years ago, after about a year or two of working an 8-5 desk job, I complained to my mom about early mornings. She, in her ever-so-loving way, told me to deal with it. I was an adult, and that was what it meant to have a job, and that I’d just have to get … Read more

I’ve only driven through Kansas, and stayed overnight there twice…once in Kansas City on a tornado-y night and once in the booming metropolis of Hoyt**. I have never been to … Read more

I have so much swirling in my head that I decided to skip a couple morning sessions and just write, because that’s what I do when things are swirling. … Read more
Stupid Animal Ate My Springtime
Last weekend I noticed that two of the tulips I planted last year were starting to peek out of the ground. Every morning this week, I looked at my tiny green tulip leaves and thought, “Springtime is here!” On Friday, I looked at my tulips and one of them wasn’t there anymore. The leaves were … Read more
conferences
I have signed up for my first ever writing conference. It was something I wanted to do this year, but I wasn’t sure if it would work with my schedule or my finances. And I wasn’t sure if I would be brave enough to actually go. Well, I’m going. I found a conference that’s early … Read more
