Madonna's current thirst to be "edgy" often overshadows her catalog. Here are my five faves from her. What are yours? 1. Physical Attraction 2. Spotlight 3. Supernatural (Original Arms Mix) 4. Secret Garden 5. Nothing Really Matters

There's "attacking" and there's "criticising". We live in an era of OnlyFans. So a song called "Vulgar" seems quaint. Plus, decrying ageism while surrounding yourself only with young people & trying to look young? OK. Being provocative provokes. I wish her the best of health, tho

Every writer's challenge: Surpassing "sufficient" to get to sublime. I've just spent two days writing a passable 2nd chapter - but you can only get away with passable once you've built momentum. The reader is invested enough by then. Still slogging away. #WritingCommunity
