Little H is cutting her two top middle teeth and it is taking it’s toll on her mommy. She hasn’t been going to bed until after 9pm and she is waking up periodically through the night. Needless to say, not much writing – bloggy or otherwise has occured. I’m pushing through though. I have started work (finally!) on a query [...]

Joanne is a new mom whose son was born in January of this year. She’s found a love for jewelery made with vintage components. A love for things old and new has spawned some beautiful art. H: How long have you been doing what you do? J: I believe the creative process is a life-long learning journey so I’d have [...]
Two days ago I had a weird dream, something about a car breaking down. It’s all gotten fuzzy now and I can hardly remember the feel of it, never mind the details. That morning while brushing my teeth I thought about my dream and fleshed it out into a story idea. It was an idea for my flash fiction series [...]

Two months is all I have left before I have to bite the bullet and go back to work. So, I’ve been doing some work on getting things organized before this current life has to change. We refinanced our mortgage to get a hold on our money (or lack thereof). It’s like starting with a clean slate and it feels [...]
Image via Wikipedia Incomplete sentences? I like ‘em. Those little, choppy, bits of language strung together with meaning, but short a word or two, seem to offer me creative freedom with the flow of a piece. I can’t get enough. While I am no accomplished poet, I do have appreciation for rhythm and it seems I call on the incomplete [...]
Alayna Slinker became inspired to make her son a special toy after she noticed he favoured the knotted string tail on his stuffed giraffe. The first Zadyball was made more than three years ago. He was six months old. “He loved that ball SO much” Alayna says. Now almost four years old he still refuses to sleep without it. H: [...]
