Discovering the Art of #Cosplay

Hi, I'm Pippa Jay, author of scifi and supernatural stories with a romantic soul. But I'm also a cosplay addict.
I remember very clearly learning to sew. I must have been six or seven years old at the time. A well meaning female relative tired of my tomboy ways bought me one of those sets that are popular quick picks for presents. It was sewing clothes for Cindy (the British equivalent of

The Lost Art - of everyday

My grandson is big into the Jurassic World movies. We have 'enjoyed' them many many times. In the beginning of the Jurassic World movie, they are in the lab talking about creating dinosaurs.  It's said that they need to keep creating bigger, meaner, and more unique dinosaurs because people of bored or T-Rexs and raptors.

Bored....bored of T-Rexs and raptors.

And I think of true that would be.

The Art of Making Memories

This is the age of selfies and our world of photos being on our phone or our hard drive, photo albums have become a thing of the past. To keep prints in good condition requires albums with acid proof paper and the use of photo corners. A lot of work, and how many of us end up with boxes of photos stored away and never looked at?

I love photos. I always have. My dearest possessions are my

Out of This World Romance with CJ Cade

Out of This World Romance – What’s the Appeal?



Hello to all you readers who love to romance the genres.
When Sarah and Judith asked me to post, I got to thinking… just what is the
appeal of Out of This World (Sci Fi) Romance?



Sci Fi has been around for a very long time, since tech came
far enough to create robots and flying machines. Being human, our imaginations
were not far behind.

The Lost Art of Conversation by Lynn Lovegreen

It seems that if I’m not writing, I’m talking. I spend a lot of time critiquing with fellow writers, discussing topics at volunteer meetings, and hanging out with people I love. Much of it involves the “lost art” of conversation. Why is this considered a lost art—are we spending too much time looking at screens, or are we simply out of practice? Either way, we can start by engaging more with

The Lost Art of Daydreaming

by Madelle Morgan

When was the last time you did absolutely nothing? No TV, no phone. No rushing to fill rare free moments with yet another errand on the To-Do list, clean the cat's litter box, or to scroll through social media posts and online shopping sites.

When was the last time you sat alone in a quiet place, with no devices in hand, and listened to your inner thoughts?

Reading is Fun!

By: Marcia King-Gamble

Who
would have thought that reading would become a lost art? I know that’s a
strange thing for a writer to say.  I blame some of it on modern
technology and this world of instant gratification. We want to get answers now.  Forget about savoring and enjoying the moment we're in.
