A Lavender Wand
Veronica Roth, a good friend of mine, recently wrote a blog post detailing how to make lavender wands. Check it out. They looked very pretty and I love the scent of lavender, so I thought, “Hey, I have lavender. I should make one of those.”
So I did. I think it turned out pretty well, although not quite as neat as the ones she made. It was also harder than it looked and took a little longer than I had anticipated. But I like it. And it smells fabulous. Now I just need to figure out where to put it . . . I’m thinking: lingerie drawer.

I’m Published!
Both my fiction and my photography are being published this month! I’m SO happy! I feel like a “real” writer and photographer now.
“My Angel” is a very short story in the July 2013 issue of the literary magazine Mouse Tales Press. Currently, the magazine is online, but this issue will be the first available in print, and very soon!
“Imagination” is a highly saturated photograph that graces the cover of the No. 12 issue of the literary and art magazine Enhance. There is also a spread inside the magazine showcasing my photo book. This magazine is currently available in print! You can order copies here.
Go buy some copies and support these wonderful literary publications!!
Love,
Becca ♥

The Full Moon Forgives
“I’m sorry.
I didn’t mean to do it, not really.
I mean, I considered it, but the possibility of death was slight.”
The full moon makes no reply.
“Okay, then. Thanks for listening.”

Oh, Here I Am… Drink Up!
Hello!
Sorry I haven’t been around much lately.
I’m in the beginning stages of planning my newest novel. I’m really excited about it, so it’s been hard to pull myself away. I’m using the Snowflake Method, and it’s fantastic. If you are a writer and haven’t read about it, click and do so now. You won’t regret it. Besides planning ahead, like I’m doing, it’s great for organizing and mapping works you’ve already written, too.
Since I’ve been focusing most of my writing on this new project, I probably won’t be posting much of my fiction writing here. Unless, of course, I come across a particularly inspiring prompt and just can’t resist.
I will, however, still be posting responses to at least one photo prompt a week. I love my photo prompts too much to resist, and they are a great break from writing when I need one.
So, without further ado, and in response to the Wordsmith Studio’s Weekly Photo Prompt, I say, “Drink up!”
Moscato is my favorite wine, light and fruity, and just a little bubbly.
Feel free to grab your favorite beverage and toast with me.
“To inspiration.”
“Cheers.”
Becca ♥
