Sunday Share: Not Your Typical Daisy

This Sunday I’m sharing something a little darker.  I ran across a blog by a writer doing amazing and amazingly creative things.  She is CL Muller at Daydreaming With Ink and Paper and she writes Fantasy, Dystopia, and Science Fiction.  A little known fact about me is how much I love all of these genres yet I…

Sunday Share: Kitsch

I’m not sure if I have shared this blog before.  If I haven’t, well then it’s about time!  I get almost the same amount of glee reading this blog as I do with Babu’s diary project.  (Understandably not the same amount of glee but it’s a wonderful blog!)  The blog is titled The Pretty and…

Sunday Share: Sonnets and So Much More

Not many people write sonnets any more and even less write them well.  At the blog Andy Maudling Writes you will get exactly that, great writing. Here is a little taste: In Line Sunday Sonnet We evolve to understand ourselves, To know we know much less. Like books, we sit in line on shelves; Each spine becomes…

Sunday Share: Alphabet Haiku and a Photo Challenge

I got wrapped up in challenges this month.  I wasn’t looking for any, I swear!  But first came around Alphabet Haiku.  Did you know that Haiku was originally, and still should be if it’s not, considered a form of meditation?  I wrote one just for fun and then I saw that I could do it! …

Sunday Share: A Witty Lens

First of all:  IF I ASKED YOU ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO IF YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO LET ME SHARE YOUR BLOG, AND THEN NEVER SHARED IT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  I have this sinking feeling that I forgot about some’s share.  I have been able to get posting really ahead of time, which makes…

Throw Back Thursday: Stanley Midura

I recently had a wonderful favor done for me.  It wasn’t something I asked for but it came out of the blue and was a lovely surprise.  The lovely blogger The Rescued Photo has been reading through the blog, from the beginning, which first of all warms my heart.  Let me be very clear: as a…

Uncomfortable: Part Three: The Ethics of Nonfiction

I have been wrestling with this for about a week now, ever since I transcribed a few of these passages and came across an alarming pattern.  Now, It may be a pattern that leads to nothing.  Nothing to see here, folks!  It could also be a part of the story that would matter very deeply…

Sunday Share: Birthday Reflections
