Welcome to Pixie Sticks and Stones -- The Place Where Names Will NEVER Hurt You

We all look the same in the shadows. We all think alike in the dark.

A lot of blogs focus on niches, particularly when it comes to audiences. As much as I would love to be a blogging guru in one specific area, I have far too many things to say to stick to a single point. More importantly, I have far too many people to address to exclude anyone who doesn't fit into a certain category or stereotype.

I’m not just writing for family, friends, fellow writers, and dreamers (though I do hope to catch their attention, too). I’m writing for students, teachers, readers, critics, movie buffs, nerds, dog lovers, coupon clippers, underappreciated artists (since most artists aren’t actually starving), philanthropists, comedians, Trekkies, chefs, soldiers, musicians, athletes, and couch potatoes. I’m writing for people who are happy, angry, lovelorn, lovestruck, bored, boring, rich, poor, calm, anxious, optimistic, pessimistic, socialites, outsiders, and everyone in between.

That’s the point of my blog. We may all be different, but we have too many things in common to categorize ourselves by just a few traits. Instead of focusing on the words and names the world has called you, I would rather focus on who you really are; what you’re really made of. And since those things are pretty universal, I’m sure you will find certain truths that will resonate within you while reading my blog.

Pixie Sticks and Stones is a place for everyone. I don’t care where you fit in the world because you will all fit in here. Except clowns. They may bring happiness to children but they scare the hell out of me. So if you’re a clown, just keep that under wraps, okay?
