Ah, whoops…

Posted on February 19, 2014October 12, 2016 by Loni Townsend

The cold medication has fogged my brain. I seem to have forgotten it’s Wednesday and that I was supposed to have something interesting for everyone to read. *blinks groggily at screen* With the combination of no sleep and a cold that has been plaguing my family for three weeks now, I really don’t have much…

Featured Photo Friday

Posted on February 14, 2014February 13, 2014 by Loni Townsend

Today’s featured photo is in honor of my favorite holiday. Valentine’s Day! I have a number of romantic photos I considered for today, but this one seemed most appropriate. Though romance is one aspect of love (a big one!), I wanted to have a more universal feel. Love for family. Love for friends. Love for…

Let Me See Your Face

Posted on February 12, 2014February 11, 2014 by Loni Townsend

Do you know someone who is bad with names but good with faces? Or maybe you’re one of those people? If the answer is “No” on both accounts, well, let me introduce myself. My name is Loni. I remember faces, not names. Google is amazing. They have connected so many different services, your profile (and…

Posted on February 7, 2014February 6, 2014 by Loni Townsend

It’s been a bleak, wintry landscape over here this past week. To remedy that, I bring you water colors! This is me trying out different angles instead of a straight on shot. My daughter is a wild artist. Tie-dyed strips of glued together paper seems to be her favorite creation as of late.

Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds! A decade ago, I watched the movie Cheaper By…

This one is a bit abstract. We recently replaced our shower curtain. The water caught the light just right. I decided snag my phone and snap the picture. Don’t worry, I avoided getting my phone wet. What do think? Do you like abstract art? What pictures inspire you?

Typography: The Ellipsis

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Loni Townsend

These three little dots confuse the heck out of me. I’m never sure when to follow the ellipsis with a period. If the thought is drifting off (not interrupted), and then switches in the next line, do I end it with a period? It was as if … Derek looked to the side. No, it…

This featured photo had me grinning as I took it. I debated on different names for it. I settled on: Ignorance Is… I’ve added a lightbox plugin to my WordPress, so the image should open in a nice dialog now. You won’t be redirected to Flickr anymore. It turned out grainier than I’d like, but…

Typography: Becoming a Better Writer

Posted on January 22, 2014January 21, 2014 by Loni Townsend

I’ll admit it. I judge based on looks. I was given a book around Christmas time. After a quick flip through, I winced. The book was blatantly self-published. Now, I’m not saying I’m a pro when it comes to book publishing—far from it. Everything I know, I’ve learned through self-study. But even to my untrained…

I titled today’s selection Romance Writer. I have a slight obsession with notebooks, particularly leather bound ones. I received a new one, plus the awesome metal feather pen (it came with it’s own ink well *cheer*), from my sis-in-law for Christmas. The rose was courtesy of my super sweet husband. What do you think? Any…

Welcome to my blog. I post here on the first Wednesday of the month. My topics include my stories and writing, life at the Town's End, creating and tinkering with graphics, things I learn and think might be helpful to others, and the occasional amateur photo. Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see you around.
