Nutty Chitter from a Caffeinated Critter
Sarah at Are You Kidding Me?! nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award. Sarah cracks me up. Her tidbits involving her family never cease to entertain me, and I find her stories extremely relateable. You should check her out, especially if you have kids. The rules of the VBA (which still stands for Visual Basic…
Last week, I featured my pond. Today’s feature photo shows the hands that built it. On the 24th, we will celebrate our 8 year wedding anniversary. Even after that time, he still makes sparks fly. 😀 I used my camera for this one. The shutter speed was fast enough to catch the sparks without making…
Today is the first Wednesday of the month. That means, it’s time for Insecure Writer’s Support Group! You can find the sign up here. We owe Alex J Cavanaugh a huge thank you for thinking this blog hop up. Last month, I talked about my worry that no one would read my book. It’s one…
If you haven’t guessed from previous posts, my husband is one of the greatest guys out there. He’s creative, funny, hard-working, and smart. Sure, he’s not without what some people might call flaws, but really, when you’re that great, who notices? One of the projects he’s been working on since we bought the house in…
It’s been a rough time at the Town’s End. I’d planned on doing a nice little write up about my WIPs, but—as plans often do—they fell through. Heck, I even missed Featured Photo Friday. My daughter picked up a cold at either daycare or preschool over a week and a half ago, and brought it…
Carrie Butler is celebrating her blogiversary! She’s hosting a blogfest called How I Found the Write Path. See who is participating, and sign up yourself. The Prompt: Please write a letter/note to yourself when you first started writing toward publication. Since I often talk to myself (in third person even), this was easy. Below is…
I’ve been holding onto this one for a while. I know many of you will like it. It was an opportune shot on a stormy afternoon at a church just up the block from me. I’d taken it around the same time as the wet chain featured photo. It has a drama filter applied, and…
Melissa Maygrove amazes me. She’s a terrific writer, well-prepared, and so much better at this whole networking business than me. In fact, I owe her a huge debt, because I wouldn’t be where I am now without her. I have the honor and privilege to have her guest posting on my blog today. And without…
The Rogue King by Aldrea Alien is the first in its series. What I love best about Aldrea’s writing is the visceral emotions she conjures with her words. Often while reading, I find a lump lodged in my throat because I feel for her characters. Life isn’t always pretty for them, but it’s their struggles…
Two years ago, I told my husband, “I want a tree in the back yard.” He quizzed me on what type, and I answered in a series of non-committal grunts. Yes, I know, extremely helpful. But he knows me pretty darn well (and one would hope, considering I married him). I came home to find…
