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 →

I’ve always been a geek, even if I didn’t really understand what a geek was, way back in the seventies. I... Continue Reading →
Another (mostly) #WordlessWednesday post for Witchy Wednesday, this time for a simple protection spell. Bright blessings! Text from the graphic - Protection Spell. Candle and matches. Quartz crystal point. Piece of Jet (Fossilized wood, God, Receptive, Earth and Spirit, absorbs negative energy). Piece of Amber (Fossilized pine resin, Goddess, Projective, Fire and Spirit, gives life... 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...

Three things I'm a fan of this Fourth of July holiday weekend - Fishtown Horribles Parade My dad, way back in the day, used to park his pickup truck on Stacy Boulevard the night before the parade (July 2nd), and on more than one occasion, walked the three and a half miles to our home...

Rabbit, rabbit for this magical month!! First, a correction - in my last Witchy Wednesday post, I stated the Full Thunder Moon was tomorrow night. I apparently got this information from a site that uses UTC (Coordinated Universal Time - the order of the letters is apparently a compromise between the English and the French),...

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...

I'm working furiously to raise my Draenei Paladin to level 100 rewrite my novel, Wrecked for the Clarion Write-a-Thon. To help my process, along with my Microblog Mondays, and Wordless Wednesdays, I'm instituting Fractional Fridays whenever necessary until August 1st. Think Fandom Friday in a quick, I like this thing, here's a picture of it,... Continue Reading →
Since the two graphics I created for today's post are fairly self-explanatory, this is essentially a #wordlesswednesday entry. To mark the occasion of Scott Cunningham's birth on June 27th 1956 - Information on the upcoming Full Thunder Moon on July 1st - Bright Wordless, Witchy Wednesday blessings to all! July, The Thunder Moon. Also called... Continue Reading →
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."...

Many years ago, I figured out if I learned to bake, I could have freshly-made cookies any time the mood struck. Okay, in all honesty, I was way more interested in having unrestricted access to cookie dough, but regardless - the result was, I started honing my culinary skills pretty soon after I hit double...

Since the dark moon was last night, I figured I'd do a quick update first on the ritual I posted last week. When I set things up to take a picture for the blog entry, I had this wonderful vision in my brain of heading out into the woods last night, tools in hand, and... Continue Reading →
