Story Weekend: Rebellion
This week’s theme popped into my mind out of nowhere and I look forward to seeing what that word conjures up for you. I’m not going to start it off with my own story this week so as not to influence anyone. Instead, I’ll let you take this in whatever direction you like. If you’re…
Read MoreStory Weekend: Random Acts of Kindness
This weekend’s theme: Random Acts of Kindness. It’s a great topic, suggested by one of my Facebook friends. Write whatever true little (and I do mean little!) story pops into your mind. Something you did. Something someone else did for you. Something you witnessed. I can’t wait to read what you come up with. If…

John and I just got home from the gallery where he shows his art photography. Tonight was the grand opening of the gallery’s new space and wow, was it packed!

Story Weekend is back from its nice long holiday at the beach! I hope all of you were able to take a little time off as well. I was thinking about a theme for this weekend’s post when a squirrel suddenly leaped from the branch of a tree to the birdfeeder outside my second story…

Read MoreWhat's on Your Creativity Agenda This Week?
We’re at the beach for a few days of writing and photography. Here’s the sunset view from my deck captured with my iPad (clearly I’m not the photographer!). I’ll be writing with pen on paper tomorrow, as I like to do every once in a while to tap into a different part of my brain,…

I was going to post a more substantive theme for this weekend but decided everyone is probably out shopping anyway, so I might as well join the fun. I’m not a fan of shopping, but I’ll do my best to contribute. If you’re new to Story Weekend, here’s how it works: I pick a theme…
