I mentioned my husband got bad news at work last week. Well, come next month, he’s going to be a stay-at-home dad, at least for a while. His biggest concern was the children. He doesn’t want them to face hardship. I reminded him they don’t cost that much. They have more toys than they can…

I am Such a Ham – Steampunk Photos
I totally forgot today was Wednesday. It’s been a blur at the Town’s End with me being sick, my son having hand-foot-and-mouth disease and screaming all night, my husband getting bad news at work, and my daughter… well, she’s fine, if not a bit whiny. So no deep thoughts for me today. Just some more…
10 Favorite Screen Characters
A few weeks back, C.D. Gallant-King tagged me in a challenge to come up with my top ten favorite screen characters. Now, if you know me in person, you know I don’t get much screen time because of work, children, and house-cleaning. But I brainstormed with my husband and managed to come up with a…
How do you catch up? #IWSG
Wow. It’s July already, and it’s the first Wednesday of the month too! I had told myself I’d be done with at least one of my projects by now. But I’m not. In fact, I’m not even close. I know I’m not the only one who sets big plans and when the time rolls around,…
Nine Happy Years at the Town’s End
Nine years ago, I married Chris Townsend. I must say, I love this guy. He makes me laugh. He cooks me yummy food. He builds me fun projects around the house. I don’t think I could ever rival how good he has been to me. I can count on one hand how many times we’ve…
Hey, Punk! (Playing Dress-Up)
If you’re my Facebook friend, you’ve probably already seen my profile picture. But since, admittedly, I love attention, I figured I’d make a post about it. I’m a fan of Steampunk. If you don’t know what Steampunk is, Jay Noel did a pretty good write up a few months ago. Normally, I avoid being in…
An Interview with… Who? #TenThousandDays
Have you met C.D. Gallant-King? This guy cracks me up. He’s got the edge on zany, and his stories reflect that fun-loving nature. If you enjoy action, fun, with a hint of heart-warming love, I suggest you pick up Ten Thousand Days. And now… Interview with C.D. Gallant-King, author of Ten Thousand Days Can you…
Helpful Criticism #IWSG
Today, I’m not insecure. One might think I have some great tidbit of wisdom on how to achieve such a state. I don’t. But I can tell you how I got there, at least for today. I know some of my primary weaknesses in writing, one of which is building/conveying emotions. Lately, I’ve been working…
Because of You, I did it
This happened: facebook May 18 at 12:39pm *virtual high five to everyone* I may have just figured out book 2. I owe all of you a big THANK YOU. All of your comments helped stir the mental juices, and I ended up with my solution. Last week, I was pretty much at my frustration breaking…
Looking for Brainstorming Suggestions
Last week, I mentioned it was taking me too long to figure out Isto. A lot of you guys had great suggestions of reading through my existing work to rekindle my passion. While I do enjoy my story and would love to write in it, I’m stuck on a single issue. I don’t know how…
