First Batch of Photos– Early in the Evening

I’m waiting on pics from my sister.  I think hers were better.  But, I’m sharing some of the wonderful costumes.  I managed to take these before the big rush of guests.  After that, I was pretty busy– as you can guess.  We bought this house because it has a big kitchen and a big circular [...]

Music Today!

It’s been a little while since I did a music post and this blog was originally going to be about music and writing.
 
 
I won’t be streaming songs in here until I can figure out how to use my own bandwidth.  However, I will give you sites with either clips or whole songs.  You may not [...]

Halloween Party Night

I’m all dressed up and ready for our annual Halloween party!  I went traditional this year.  Had my little boy take this picture.  The costume has cool detail but you can’t see it in this shot. 

We have around forty people coming.  I’ll have to take some pictures of the wild costumes.  Here are some from [...]

Where It All Begins

“Great are they who see that thoughts rule the world.”
                                                   Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything begins and ends with thought.  We think to create, to achieve, to live.  Positive thoughts keep us happy and healthy.  A negative thought can be like a disease that when left alone can spread and eventually destroy.
Writers pull out that blank sheet of paper [...]

Every One Is a Fresh Start

What’s the best thing about a blank page?  The possibilities.  What else?  Opportunity. 
It’s up to you what goes on that page.  Use it as a bridge to your dreams.
What have you been writing on your blank pages lately?  And btw, a computer screen counts.

Random Thoughts

I love visiting the different writer blogs to see how each one approaches this career choice of ours.  (Though, if you think about it, anyone with a blog is a writer. ) Some share interesting research links, some give a daily rundown of their activities.  It’s fascinating to delve into other writer minds… to see how [...]

Snoopy Dancing!

The Write Snark store topped 100 newsletter subscribers! 
Group Hug!!! 
In honor of the faithful and brave fans of the Snark, I created three new designs.  The subscribers will get them in the newsletter, but since it’s Friday and I’m a good mood, I’ll share. 

The “Like My Chicken” design.  (Yeah, I’m weird.  This cracks me up for [...]

Blogging Can Be Frustrating (Oct. 20,3006)

Some time back, I shared a site called Singingfish.com.  I thought it was so cool that you can type in a band or a song, get the properties and share that music on your blog. 
I love to showcase artists and I’m sincerely trying to give them free publicity.  If I’ve put up an image, I’ve always [...]

It Takes Practice and Wild Turkeys

My daughter is learning about photographing patterns, light and shadows.  She took these with her digital for fun, but more often than not, you’ll find her with the new camera.  The child likes nothing better than to be out with that 35 MM taking black and white photos for her class.  Until she learns to [...]

Scene From a Pic– Snarky Halloween Style!

Scene From a Pic is something we do here for a little fun.  It’s a great way to loosen up your creativity!  Try writing something new– maybe a different genre or style– but just have fun. I’ll post your writing along with a link to your blog or website!
This time, I’m suggesting some wonderful scary [...]

Giving Birth to New Fiction

I’m doing something crazy for the Snarky  readers today.  I’m going to share the beginning brainstorm session for Valen Greer.  This is a strange process I do for short stories and books.  And usually, the writing is up and down and across and in corners.  The only change I’ll make is to line it up [...]
