Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
If you remember, late last year we went to Utah for some fantastic trail riding. This year my sister and I took a shorter, but no less beautiful trip to the Arkansas Ozarks with the mules. We stayed at the Boston Mountain Foxtrotters and Horse Camp. The horse camp is nothing fancy, it is a
Yes, I have been reading horror and sci-fi. The sci-fi was a Project Hail Mary re-read after having watched the movie (which is amaze amaze amaze). I did not mean to read this much horror this year but I have been enjoying it. I have put these books in order from least favorite to most
The prompt for this week was to write a poem with sound. I do my best to highlight different literary elements and styles of writing in writing group. Yes, there are open ended prompts but I also like trying to, not teach per se, but to showcase different things that people can include in their

I am extremely proud of how this project turned out. The writing, the layout, the images, the variety. Is it perfect? No. It is something worth
I realized that I did not share the second volume of the Denton Writing Club zine. This volume of Banned & Burned looks at the interwoven themes of Love, Food, & Yearning. This was actually a Valentine’s Day when I didn’t want to write just about romantic love. The cover art was done by two
The prompt for this scene was to write an artist going mad as they attempt to complete their magnum opus, their great work. And the pieces that were written were fantastic. I know some very creative people. These pieces defiantly had a horror vibe. Trigger Warning: Blood. Self mutilation. Read at your own risk. Writing
When you give a nerd a chance to research… The prompt for this piece was dinosaurs or just extinct reptiles or extinct birds. The evolutionary splits are quite fantastic, but that’s a rabbit hole for an other time. This was either a loved or hated prompt because dinosaurs or animals alive during the days of
