No, We Can’t Go Out Again
By Rebecca T. Dickinson You want to give it a chance. There is no reason why you should not. You've been interested for a long time. When dating, you meet the person you think—for whatever reason—the two of you should go out. You go on the date with the girl or guy, and you discover… Continue reading No, We Can’t Go Out Again
What is the Art of Narratives?
By Rebecca T. Dickinson Where were you born? Why is it important? Did it have a cute front porch, or roaches crawling over beds? I have a confession. I never thought I'd write or edit nonfiction.

The Write to Cook: Before the Kitchen Calls
By Rebecca T. Dickinson A Short Narrative Life cannot be as it was before. Nothing could be as it was before: friendships, money, love, or dishware. My husband says the cooking channels are to me what porn is to some men. I don't know how true that claim is, but when I watch television, I turn… Continue reading The Write to Cook: Before the Kitchen Calls
Raise Your Glass

What It’s All For
Words by Rebecca T. Dickinson Early morning stirs before the first orange burst peaks above the horizon. I leave my warm bed. Work summons me to my laptop. Tired fog spots block vision.

World’s Best Dad
My Dad By My Father's Sister, Feb. 18, 1982 Who is clever? Who is smart? Whose neutrons originate from the heart? My Dad who brightens our ordinary days with whistling, quips, and piano-tingling ways? My dad who repairs many things from shattered glasses to broken wings?

Story of the Stove
By Rebecca T. Dickinson Powerful words come to the page when people describe food. Whether it is a restaurant reviewer, Giada, or a foodie fan; delicious language boils over through language and fingertips. Cooking is more than a skill I picked up in college. It offers the chance to break from writing and other work.… Continue reading Story of the Stove
In Flight
Photos and Words by Rebecca T. Dickinson My husband and I often escape to the airport overlook in Charlotte. Before our son's birth, we went to forget problems. Now we go to forget the fact we are without full-time jobs. No matter how hard we work it feels we will never take off. We are… Continue reading In Flight
