This morning I woke up to my husband leaning over my face to tell me that he was going on a run. He does this sometimes out of habit but also because I’ve told him to. You know the mind of a writer. To normal people waking up and finding the person you love missingContinue reading “Saturday Alternate Worlds”

Happy Labor Day!
Happy Labor Day! The last day of the Minnesota State Fair is here but I had my fill of fried food on a stick. My long weekend was filled with running errands and accidents with a hot glue gun. After watching other artists create miniature models out of Amazon boxes, I was inspired to createContinue reading “Happy Labor Day!”

Doggy Headlines
Today’s writing prompt is something that a lot of writer’s add into their resource box. Many writer’s cut out stories from newspapers or magazines and save them in a box to use later.

Dogs and Coffee
Someone I know had to go to the chiropractor last week because their lab size dog took off, and they did a face plant in the back yard. At least, they weren’t rollerblading down the sidewalk or downtown during the middle of the day for everyone to see them. I know the videos of dogsContinue reading “Dogs and Coffee”
Miniature Worlds
Imagine living in a miniaturized world where everything shrinks down to the size of a dime. Last night, I spent hours sculpting croissants and donuts in that world.

I just purchased a book of another children’s author and somehow she’s mastered the art of rhyming. Her main character is a dinosaur. How many of you have tripped over stuffed animals or Legos when you wake up and stumble to the coffee machine? Today, we are going to trip over a green dinosaur. ThisContinue reading “Writing Prompt: The Green Dinosaur”
End of Month Update
We are back to city life at the beginning of a new week and we are at the last week of the month. I’m thinking about our Minnesota State Fair this year and because we didn’t have it last year, I’m willing to brave the crowds to attend again in August. It’s hard to believeContinue reading “End of Month Update”
