Happy birthday baby boy! On July 11, our son turned 18 years old. I posted some pictures over on Facebook, and I thought I'd share them here for #MicroblogMonday. It makes my heart smile to see how the enthusiasm, joy, and love he had as a little boy has remained even though now he's a... Continue Reading →
Tonight is another Writers' Night Out meeting, and my rewrite of Wrecked seems to have run aground. I know there's no substitute for sitting-butt-in-chair, but this week, I'm going to fire up some of my favorite YouTube writing talks from Jim Butcher, and see if that helps push my writing inspiration off into deep waters...

One hundred and fifteen years ago today, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was born. My French copy of Le Petit Prince has gone to that wicked big library in the sky, but I still have my circa 1980s copy of The Little Prince - In the interest of keeping this post short and sweet, so I can...

Oopsie! Yesterday, whilst waiting for the Father's Day bacon to be done bakin' (yes, in the oven, using a roaster pan and parchment paper - OMG, yum!), I checked my email and found one from the Clarion Foundation, which began - "Dear Traci, Today is Week 1, Day 1, of the Sixth Annual Clarion Write-a-Thon."...

Hubby put together a brand new computer for me today (thanks hon!), so while I'm busy getting things situated, I'm doing another #MicroblogMondays style post. Below is my Facebook status update from June 11th - As many of you are aware, I'm a huge NaNoWriMo proponent. If it weren't for the gang at the Office... Continue Reading →
When I participated in NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) back in November 2014, I stumbled upon the idea of doing short, social media status update-types of blog entries. This is part of the description from the Stirrup Queens website about Microblog Mondays - MicroblogMondays is a response to the mass exodus from long blogging in... Continue Reading →
Rabbit, rabbit! Since we have our second meeting of the Epping Writers' Night Out this evening, I figured my first post-photo post (say that three times fast!) for Musing Monday should be about writing. As I'm rather obsessed fond of lists, I decided a top ten list would be in order. Since there are so... Continue Reading →
Since today is Memorial Day here in the States, before I get to my sky pictures, I wanted to take a moment to share what I posted on Facebook - My father and grandfather came home. My thoughts and prayers today for those who did not. Now, before my last National Photography Month post, once... Continue Reading →
It's an interesting bit of synchronicity that I planned the topic for today's blog weeks ago, and we heard from our landlords just a few days ago that the the crew from the tree removal company would be arriving this morning. Instead of my usual writing soundtrack of kidlets and Pandora, I'm being serenaded by... Continue Reading →
Today would have been my father's eighty-eighth birthday, had we not lost him in 2001 to the horrific disease that is Alzheimer's. In my attempts to organize the many boxes of family photos, I've discovered some of his old black and white snaps. Unfortunately, I don't have any information about the pictures, other than what...

It seemed like such an easy thing to do. Pick a theme for each of the four Mondays in May (National Photography Month), then post seven pictures for each theme (the arbitrary goal I set for myself). I had about two weeks to prepare. The themes were easy - birds, my late father (his birthday... Continue Reading →
As my Facebook friends can attest to, I've renewed my love for photography this year. I don't ever anticipate giving up my day job (so says the unemployed, stay-at-home mother), but it's something that gives me great joy and a sense of connecting with my muse on a deeper level. Plus, I get to hang... Continue Reading →
