Being Still

I cannot lie. Sometimes it is hard to simply sit and relax, especially when Bob (we will call him Bob) starts drumming his fingers on the desk while I’m trying to work on the computer. Sometimes, I think he does it on purpose. He must, because I’ll be there working and suddenly. Drum drum drum. […]

The Artist

Whenever she pictured him, he held A brush in his hand, mouth pursed in thought. Together, they imagined universes and colors and sound like the Delicate cool blue whirl of the pulsar like the ocean at the heart of every star. Whenever she pictures him, colors stain his fingers, Many colors swirled in a chaotic […]

Friday Fictioneers: Unexpected Beauty

IWSG: Find Your Voice

Well, here is February. Like many people in my local area, I’m a bit cabin-feverish. I’ve managed to dig out my driveway, cutting a path through the snow drifts, but the roads are scary,  reduced to 1 1/2 lanes at unexpected, brake-hitting moments.

Celebrate the Small Things

Here’s my post for Celebrate the Small Things, where every Friday we celebrate our accomplishments for the week, and I have to be honest, it has been a while – and I’m kind of wiped this week. My dad just got out of the hospital again and is in rehab, which is something to celebrate […]

Celebrate the Small Things

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. In my defense the past couple weeks have been crazy! This week, I’m mostly celebrating getting past Thanksgiving, winning NaNoWriMo and getting some good writing resource leads at write ins. This week, I’ve mostly gotten caught up on all those things I’ve been putting off, including returning books […]
