Amruta's Writing Block!

Trying to find a balance between my need to communicate, to be in control, and to get over my writer's block – all to fulfill my dream of being the new kid (or old lady) on the "writing block"… Yeah, yeah, I do sarcastic comedy on the side! :D

  • Soothed by Thrills…

    {Author’s Notes: Updated on October 28, 2015} As I wrote in my earlier post, something else soon happened, which made me feel good about life, about others, and about myself.
