Acaciella
This pretty flower is one of those examples of ‘can’t leave well enough alone,’ as you will find it variously listed as Acacia angustissima, or Acaciella angustissima. At least they’ve agreed on the narrow leaves! Which some of the common names agree on, as well, since it’s sometimes called Fern Acacia, also Prairie Acacia. That…

Brazos River Hike
After a really long hiatus, I finally made it back out on a trail. It was a great hike, too. Worth the effort – and this one took some special preparation for me! I hiked for an hour, and according to my car (parked in shade) thermometer, it was 102 fondly Fahrenheit out there. The…

Ten Minute Sketches
That’s what I’ve been doing for my daily art recently. I want to take the time to pencil, use references, then carefully ink, but I don’t have it. I don’t have the time, I don’t have the coordination, and I don’t have the inclination. Right now? Rough and ready sketches. Cartoons, really. I can cartoon.…

Too Much
That moment when you find yourself with so much to do, and so little time, not to mention mental energy, that you are sitting in front of the bookshelf indulging in a little light research instead of doing anything else. Even the research is kinda useless, because there’s no writing brain. The writing brain has…

Odd Prompts: Caterpillar
I have no idea where this came from, or where it’s going. *** Jeff looked into the rearview mirror, then averted his eyes quickly. Staring fixedly out the windshield, his knuckles white from his grip on the wheel, he spoke without moving his lips. “What did you slip into my coffee?” The other man in…

Open Call: Anthology
A few months ago I decided I was going to commit to being a Real Publisher. Part of that was driven by helping my friend and fellow author Misha Burnett bring his idea for Adventure Stories for Young Readers to life. That anthology is happening, the stories are in, he’s working on edits, and I…

Odd Prompt: Honeymooners
I don’t know where this prompt is going, other than a very odd romance. *** Something borrowed, something blue, Something old, something new…. The something old hanging from the waist of her wedding gown had been her granny’s sewing scissors, the little silver ones shaped like a stork. Now, the long beak-blades bloody, it…

Jack’s Wood: Odd Prompts
I am picking up the thread of something I was working on last year. You will want to read Jack’s Stick, and Jack’s Quest, if you don’t recall them. *** Jack was snuffling along the garden wall again. Right along the back, where he always spent the longest time. I’d decided very quickly after he’d…

Erodium
Now that I’ve settled into the new digs – mostly. Still transporting books down from storage, but honestly I’ve decided this is a Good Thing. Not only does it give me an excuse to venture up to see friends once a week or so, and social interaction is important with my spouse several states away…

Podcast Playlists
So this is a not-quite-complete rundown of what’s in my podcast app on the playlists I use regularly. I don’t listen to all of it all the time – I do what I’m in the mood for, and that changes often. I can’t recommend all of these, but I’ve left off the ones where I…

Derailed
I’ve started writing again. Fiction, that is. You’ve seen my output of non-fiction if you follow this blog. Of course, I say this and it sounds impressive and then I will tell you that the first day, I did 6 words. The second day I managed 61. It’s not about the count, it’s the discipline,…
