About This Author
Brandiwyn🎶 v.2026 Author Icon, also known as Michelle Tuesday, is a musician, educator and writer hailing from Columbus, Ohio.
La Bene Vita
I am a professional musician, teacher  Open in new Window., (former) worship leader  Open in new Window., small business owner  Open in new Window., songwriter  Open in new Window., aspiring author  Open in new Window. and freelance nonfiction writer  Open in new Window. with a chemical engineering degree  Open in new Window..

But that's just my resume. My eclectic profile of vocations is only one of the ways in which I am uniquely me.

Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the business I run, I am always a work in progress.

I changed my mind. (I'm allowed.) "Funny Fridays" have been canceled until further notice (No jokes for YOU!)

Two reasons:
(1) My style of comedy is mostly improvisation, repartee, that sort of thing. I'm not even sure I can be funny on command (unless you're offering cake as a treat),

and

(2) I decided I wanted to carve time out for reviewing, and something had to go.

Friday Reviews:
...will happen, as implied, every Friday (unless I'm sick or dead, like yesterday.) If you would like your work added to my queue, drop it in the comments, and I'll check the list next Friday. That's not a promise that your piece will be chosen for review if the list is long. I'm only committing to one review every Friday, because my reviews almost always take about an hour. Sometimes, time permitting, I might review more than one work, but if I overpromise, I'm more likely to bail on the whole thing altogether.

Today, Friday, January 9th, I have reviewed two pieces for my Friday Reviews::

Review of "Angel Feathers" Open in New Window
Review of "The Calling" Open in New Window

Happy Friday, everyone.
