Tara Severance's Blog: Steeped

Lazy Sunday
It's been a while since I've had a Sunday that didn't require much of me. The sheer nothingness was at first daunting, but if ever there existed a person up to the task, it's yours truly.
Seldom-used muscles are sore, and I'm a little crispy around the edges from too much sun. However, nothing of real meaning dropped from the to-do list, so I'd call the day a success.
In the process of finding my sunglasses for the umpteenth time, I had a revelation. Two plot bunnies that I'd been bumping around found one another and - as rabbits are known to do - reproduced. Unreliable narration makes for horrible legal testimony, but fabulous storytelling. I see a mystery in my future involving a woman who's misplaced someone very important to her, an irreplaceable confidante, but keeps up her end of their regular communication anyway.
I hope your weekend was decadently restful. And that you can find your sunglasses whenever you want them.

Salutations
I love following writers on social media. Pithy, sharp, and articulate, they give me something to aspire to. It's so easy to respond with the same dozen stock phrases or an emoji, but remembering to--as moms round the world are prone to remind us--use my words has become a battle.
I'm Tara Severance, contributing author to the upcoming Musings Anthology, and I'm trying to use my words. I'm no J.K. Rowling or Kurt Vonnegut, so maybe try to rein in your expectations.
On Twitter, my handle is @tee_dot . Hit me up there if you'd rather.

Steeped
Never store-bought or from a mix. Front porch sitting and general chewing of the fat happens here. Strange stuff pops up researching new projects, but every now and then it's a rehash.
