We do a monthly Scene From A Pic-Snarky Reader Style (SFAP) here. Its purpose is to provide visual inspiration and spark creativity. All readers are invited to play! A scene, an outline, a poem… or just one line–whatever grows from that particular image. Details and deadlines can always be found here. I’ll post your work on…

Monday Poetry Train-Hands
I get a ton of traffic to this page off the search engines from people doing image searches on hands. If you like this image and want to know more about it, it came from this page and it’s by Manu M in India. 😉 Hands Look at your hands, she says Strong…
Spiders, Spiders, Go Away
Little groggy from lack of sleep this week so the brain feels wrapped in heavy layers of fog. You know it’s bad when you’re trying to carry on an interesting conversation with the hubby and you check out twice in one sentence. With the fires and early hurricane, complaining about our constant storms feels petty,…
Dreaming Plots
Excerpt from Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge (1985) Why do we have dreams and what do they mean? These questions have for centuries been the subject of a debate that has recently become the center of a heated controversy. In one camp we have a number of prominent scientists who argue that we dream for…
Monday Poetry Train-Monolith
Monolith by Rinda Elliott She stands in the midst of chaos, Tall and proud, Shoulders braced to absorb The constant flow of appeals. A mediator. Deputed peacemaker. A monolith.

Weekend Music and Art and A BIG HELLO!
Weekend Art is all about wallpaper! I like to change the background on my monitor once in a while. Keeps things fresh. Sometimes, I find pictures that inspire me to write–always a plus. I have several good sites for these, so I’ll share on upcoming weekends. Here are a couple from Visual Paradox. There are…
Fangirl Moment
Yeah, we all have them. Mine are short-lived, I’ll admit it–but I do have certain things that put a happy spin on my day. Here’s a short version of that list. (And of course, kisses and hugs and all that lovey dovey stuff from my hubby and kids goes first, but we’ll skip that part.)…
Drive By Posting
I’m about to have a glass of wine. Had a weird sort of day. Couldn’t concentrate and I really needed to today. I soared through rewrites on two chapters yesterday and part of a third one. Sent off some chapters to my cp. Then today, I found myself haunting blogs, lurking on conversations I found…
