IWSG: Health Concerns

It’s the first Wednesday of the month and that means IWSG Day and I missed last month because I was really sick at the time, like serious chest cold sick. Speaking of chest cold, I always get fall/winter allergies, but this past winter has been killer for me, in large part because of the up […]

Friday Fictioneers: Snow Globe Life

Snow Globe Life Looking out at you, I know you don’t see me, and that’s fine. My smile never ends, my feet forever frozen mid-twirl on the faux-ice in a make-believe rink. Long ago, months ago, you last shook my world, raining tiny grains of white. When you first got me, I was the shiny […]

Due to a family emergency, this past month has been kind of crazy. While we were out at lunch at a place I normally don’t go to, after leaving the hospital – again – me and my family member both got cute story cubes as part of our Kid’s Meals. Then, an adorable little girl […]

It’s the first Wednesday of the month and that means <drum roll> IWSG Day! This month’s optional question is: which is harder to come up with, a book title or the name of a character? To me, the obvious answer is Title of course. Don’t get me wrong. Character names can be tricky. I once […]

IWSG: Springspiration!

It’s the first Wednesday in May and so far what a month it is. Due to the weird weather we’ve been having in the Northeastern United States, I keep having these dreams lately that we have snow in May – and I mean a lot of snow. Last night, I dreamed we were having a […]
