♥ Have you ever had something happen that you just can’t explain? Have you seen something, heard something, felt something strange? Ever had a story told that just chilled you to the bone? Every one of us has had something happen in the past that is unusual in some eerie way. Whether it is an [...]

No. 1 Way To Make Valentine’s Day Last

♥ Get in the habit of writing love letters. This is something that Ryan is really good at. He often leaves me little notes to welcome me home from work or to tell me that he’s thinking of me while he’s away. I think about him often, too, but for some reason it never occurs [...]

♥ PHEW! I finished my novel! On November 1st, I undertook the challenge of writing a 50,000 word novel in just 30 days. The point of the exercise is to promote the skills of writing and imagination, and to help writers get past their “block” to form the skeleton of something that could be very [...]

♥ This was a pretty obvious costume choice for me. Considering I had all of these costume elements in my closet already, I had little work to do to pull it all together. And, I’m happy to say, I was delighted by the authenticity of it {if I do say so myself}. Sadly, I was [...]

♥ I have been waiting for this movie to come out for such a long time. I’m so fascinated by the debate about Shakespeare. Did he write or did he not? Was he even a real human? What’s the story behind one of the greatest storytellers in history? Of course, I know he was real, [...]

♥ Have you heard of NaNoWriMo? It stands for National Novel Writing Month, + this will be {my 4th year} participating! Essentially, the task at hand is to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. Sounds tricky, right? It’s actually a lot of fun. The first year I participated, I didn’t finish. I don’t even [...]

She’s my absolute favourite blogger because she gracefully balances her life as a Momma, a vintage collector, a seamstress, an [...]
Oh, resistless restless race!

Ah, Ryan! You’ve struck me with an inspiration! You know just the way to pump my blood! Oh, Ryan, my dear, my partner, thank you for such a perfect combination of suggestions as these: Like the Pilgrims, like the pioneers, a generation of inspired youth are sloughing off the weariness of normality! They are running [...]

Quick update today, guys! Somehow I’ve already filled up my surprise day off with lots of fun activities, so I thought I’d take a quick moment to pass along this website to any writers or NaNoWriMo participants. It’s essentially a word processor, but it includes a lot of story boarding options and allows you to [...]
