Snippet Saturday – Openers
Openers. Lines or scenes. This is our topic today. Sometimes, I hate the opening of a book, either reading or writing one. I want something that will pull me in with the first word. I want something that won't map out the entire book for me in just a few lines. I want the tone [...]

Presents
I hope y'all had a great day. Seriously, I do. That's not the false perky talking, either. For those of you that follow me on Facebook, you know what I'm talking about with the perky comment. I said pictures, so pictures I've got… A few presents aren't in the pictures like ebooks and a cupcake [...]

Birthday Bash – This is NOT how I planned to end it…

Birthday Bash – Cat Grant
The birthday I remember with the most affection came when I turned twelve. We'd lost our family pet, a sweet, elderly dachshund named Susie, a few months earlier. It was a sad time for all of us, especially my parents – they'd had Susie since before I was born. After that, my mother put her [...]

Birthday Bash – Christa Paige
My favorite birthday was when I turned 21. I was on an airplane heading home from Riodoso, New Mexico. After a week of playing in the snow, skiing and snowmobiling, I had to go home. The flight crew found out it was my 21st birthday. Soon, I was being handed drinks in celebration. I had [...]
