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…

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…

Who are you? #IWSG
Have you ever taken a personality test? Back in high school, I was an ENFP. Now, I lean more toward ISTJ. Somehow, in the past 15 years, I’ve completely flopped all of my letters. (Sometimes I think I’m a narcissistic sociopath, but that’s another story.) My sis-in-law calls me the girl with a hundred hobbies….
An Apology to the #AtoZChallenge
Apologies, because certain delivery expectations failed. Grand hopes, ill-fated. Just know, life means numerous options. People quit regularly. Strike this unfortunate venue with X. Yours zealously, Loni Townsend In case you couldn’t understand my horribly constructed sentences—sheesh, I could barely figure them out—I withdraw from the A-to-Z Challenge. Too many doctors appointments are messing with…

Things About Me
Before I get into the main post, I wanted to ask that you please check out The Ancient. I was fooling around this last weekend, and found that you can almost read my whole story in the preview. And as a writer, I have that deep-seated desire to be read. Even if you don’t pick…
