I'll be honest. I have nothing new to say today. Still researching (though less frustrated). Still editing (very slow). So instead I'm going to share one of my completely random jottings from my equivalent of one of Emily's (of New Moon) Jimmy books. I don't think there was any actual point to it when I… Continue reading Random Jottings

The Teddy Bear
So, one of my favorite ways to come up with short stories is to use my Dixit board game. For those who don't know, Dixit is comprised of a whole bunch of very unique pictures, and when playing the game, you are supposed to come up with a word or phrase to describe a picture… Continue reading The Teddy Bear
Introducing Chadwick
So, today, I would like to introduce you, my readers, to someone who is near and . . .well, not quite dear. . .to my heart. He has been with me for as long as I can remember and, following a fruitful discussion with my husband on our 18+ hour car ride to Oklahoma, has… Continue reading Introducing Chadwick

So, I felt this super super overwhelming urge to write. I haven't written in ever so long! But, as other writers, I am sure, can sympathize with, I stared at the blank document in front of me without a thing to put down. So, finally, I put on music from Tim Janis, one of my… Continue reading An Ocean Touch

Out on the Porch
Since moving into this townhouse in Purcellville, I've spent lots of time in various parts of the house. In the kitchen, cooking and cleaning - Oh, the joy of cooking again! And I never thought I'd be happy to clean a kitchen, but seeing it sparkling and pretty makes me happy. The dining room, at… Continue reading Out on the Porch
Phantom Riders
Looking through my old writings, I happened upon this extremely rough poem I jotted down a few years ago. But I thought you might enjoy it anyway. PHANTOM RIDERS Far and away many years ago there were strange ghosts in an old, old bay. Phantom Riders named for their eery flight over the waters and… Continue reading Phantom Riders
