writing – Let's Have Another Piece of Pie

To All You Writers

I follow this site daily and found this to be one that is to be shared. So to all the poets, the book writers, bloggers, podcasters and the like……. Pen to Paper – your Lion Bites word for today God is calling the writers and even those who know that there is a book withinContinue reading “To All You Writers”

No. 1

I have long enjoyed the book series by Alexander McCall Smith about Mma Ramotswe and her No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. I normally like a bit more intrigue and adventure in a book but the characters that Mr. Smith developed are irresistible. They are so delightful that you could actually picture yourself knowing them orContinue reading “No. 1”

Freedom

I have posted this quote before. I decided to “bleed” a little today. It’s been a while. I have felt a bit dry, much like the summer heat in The Middle. My dryness comes more from fear rather than the weather. I have an irrational fear of failing. Failing at what? How can pouring myContinue reading “Freedom”

The Pain of Writing

The title I came up with for this post is, well, I don’t know what it is. I was inspired by this image: I haven’t posted in a while. Is it writer’s block? That would be a good excuse for me. Is it laziness? Another good excuse for me. Perhaps it’s a bit of rebelliousnessContinue reading “The Pain of Writing”

Wordsmith

I love the word wordsmith. There are some words in the english language that I just enjoy saying and wordsmith is one of them. I never thought I was one until I read the Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition: Definition of wordsmith : a person who works with words; especially : a skillful writer wordsmithery play \-ˌsmi-thə-rē\noun This word was firstContinue reading “Wordsmith”

Dusty Dreams

There are about nineteen days left in 2016. I never make New Year resolutions, but I do always look forward to what may be in store for us/me in the upcoming new year. Ever an adventurer…… My future at this point is rather swelling with fear anticipation. Last Thursday was the last day of my son’sContinue reading “Dusty Dreams”

Tell Me A Story

I love stories. I especially love stories told to me by the person who experienced it. I feel I’m invited into a part of them that normally may not come out in a conversation or a moment in their presence. This happened to me this week. My husband and I went for a drive intoContinue reading “Tell Me A Story”

Inspiration

I came across this wonderful writer. Please enjoy this post by Sean Dietrich. An inspiration to me and I hope to you. *please note this is copied from his website. I did not write or change anything. I love the sun. Any time of day, but especially morning. I also like paper plates—the flimsy kindContinue reading “Inspiration”

Hello, It’s Me

Hello, It’s me…….. I’ve been scarce on my posting this semester. As most of my readers know, I care for two of my grandchildren five days a week while my son and wife attend University/work. My head swirls with things I want to talk about but writing with a two year old who talks extremelyContinue reading “Hello, It’s Me”

Writing Again, Writing Still

It’s been almost a year since I last posted on the topic of writing . My goals, etc. The book I started and started again and thought I finished……..almost. Sigh. I cannot compare myself to others. That is unwise – even the bible tells us that. But I do it anyway until I catch myself. SoContinue reading “Writing Again, Writing Still”
