Charli Mills, a born buckaroo, is the award-winning goat-tying champion of a forgotten 1970s rodeo. Now she wrangles words.

Married to a former US Army Ranger, Charli Mills is "true grit" although shorter than John Wayne. She writes about the veteran spouse experience and gives voice to women and others marginalized in history, especially on frontiers.

In 2014 she founded an imaginary place called Carrot Ranch where real literary artists could gather. As lead buckaroo, she's crafted and compiled enough flash fiction to understand its value. Charli Mills developed the Congress of the Rough Writers to collaborate with flash fiction writers from Carrot Ranch.

Charli hosts a literary community at Carrot Ranch with weekly Flash Fiction Challenges

Hey Carrot Ranchers! While the relocation of CarrotRanch.com was successful, it’s become more of a muddy mess than I anticipated. First, I had to focus on the issues caused by redirecting the domain DNS. Then I had to troubleshoot problems within the dashboard, and deal with an unsolicited staging site created by WP because I […]

Annie Dillard
“One of the few things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time...give it, give it all, give it now.”
Annie Dillard

Edward Abbey
“An economic system which can only expand or expire must be false to all that is human.”
Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire

Edward Abbey
“Water, water, water....There is no shortage of water in the desert but exactly the right amount , a perfect ratio of water to rock, water to sand, insuring that wide free open, generous spacing among plants and animals, homes and towns and cities, which makes the arid West so different from any other part of the nation. There is no lack of water here unless you try to establish a city where no city should be.”
Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness

Edward Abbey
“If my decomposing carcass helps nourish the roots of a juniper tree or the wings of a vulture—that is immortality enough for me. And as much as anyone deserves.”
Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire

Edward Abbey
“No more cars in national parks. Let the people walk. Or ride horses, bicycles, mules, wild pigs--anything--but keep the automobiles and the motorcycles and all their motorized relatives out. We have agreed not to drive our automobiles into cathedrals, concert halls, art museums, legislative assemblies, private bedrooms and the other sanctums of our culture; we should treat our national parks with the same deference, for they, too, are holy places. An increasingly pagan and hedonistic people (thank God!), we are learning finally that the forests and mountains and desert canyons are holier than our churches. Therefore let us behave accordingly.”
Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire
