Hooked on TV: Colony
I’m hooked on TV. I like to watch television to unwind—but also to see how stories and characters are developed, plots twist, themes are addressed, weird things happen. The current addiction is “Colony,” USA Network’s science-fiction drama series starring Josh Holloway and Sarah Wayne Callies.

A Few Encouraging Words
Sometimes we all just need a few encouraging words. Life gets hard, people get sick, plans don’t work out, tragedies strike, life gives you lemons. But difficult times are not the only times…

Book Review: Nightrage Rising, by P.S. Broaddus
I just read Nightrage Rising (The Unseen Chronicles Book 2), and wow, what a great adventure! I’m not just saying that because author P.S. Broaddus is a member of A Drift of Quills, either. He’s a darned good writer.

Chocolate Fix: Chocolate Coconut Bars
Who wants some easy-peasy Chocolate Coconut Bars? I am super big on “easy,” and this little number is on the list. Not quite one bowl, but painless enough—and tasty enough—to add to my family’s “triple diple do-over” list. I’ve always been a fan of Mounds Bars, and this recipe has some of that going on, but not nearly so sweet.

Five Good Things #10 (The World is Full of Cool)
I discovered that the world is full of cool at a really young age. At age eight or so, I'd found heaven—And now our ability to learn wonderful (and sometimes weird) things is limitless: we have the internet! I sometimes stand in severe danger of walking in and never coming out again. The world is full of cool.

The Great NaNoWriMo Rebellion of 2017
So here I am, using the NaNo cattle prod to pump out some volume, rebelliously attacking a current work in progress. I never really think of myself as a rebel, but in this case I apparently qualify. I even have a badge to prove it.

A Drift of Quills: Picture This (#4)
It’s time to “Picture This!” Every first Friday of the month, A Drift of Quills gets together to chat about reading and/or writing. Writers often collect images to help them envision people, places, and things as they write. For this feature we’re sharing pictures and snippets about one of our works, giving you a sneak peek into our worlds!
