Saturday Storytime
Get caught up with the story - here Still no working title. Maybe y'all should start yelling out ideas in the comments 'cause I'm stumped. Three Minutes Her dignity lasted approximately three minutes. “Tell me again. I wasn’t awake the first time.” Mistress Nora’s hair was a puff of white, and her face was pale … Continue reading Saturday Storytime
Wednesday’s A Moment…
It's 38 degrees, and people have snow on their cars. Everyone's wearing boots and coats again. It's May in Montana.

It will probably be … Continue reading Wednesday’s A Moment…

It was all in the tone. If you left even a bit of a question in your voice, the kitchen would ignore … Continue reading Saturday Storytime – Lights!

If you check the header menu, you can find a page with all the links in one place if you need them. Shadows … Continue reading Saturday Storytime
Wednesday’s A Moment…

Cassini is going to thread the needle, the space between - it's probably a number beyond my imagination, that gap; but someone, somewhere thought and did the math. Numbers that … Continue reading Wednesday’s A Moment…
Portals of Self-care
Even though it's been over 30 years since my trauma, I have regular nightmares. PTSD is like a background app running, sucking at your energy, focus, and mental health. Last night was one of those nights, and I spent today trying not to be eaten alive by it. I cried in the shower, but I … Continue reading Portals of Self-care
Nostalgia 101
I've grown tired of Saturday Show & Tell. While I might slip one in here and there when I've got something cool to say, I've decided to try a new project...well, an old one, actually. Despite having moved multiple times under dreadful circumstances, I have saved my earliest attempts at writing a book. These pages … Continue reading Nostalgia 101
