You’ve heard of spring rain but where I live we had spring snow today. It doesn’t look like I’ll be heading outside for any outdoor pursuits (like cleaning up the yard) this weekend so Mother Nature has given me extra time for writing. I knew something good had to come out of it. It’s been…

The Monday Writing Prompt-Losing Things
Not sure what made me think of this week’s writing prompt but I hope you have fun with this one. Your character either leaves something behind on public transport or finds something that someone else has left behind. What is it and what are the consequences? Happy writing.
Friday Ramblings From an Author-Happy Spring

The Monday Writing Prompt-Another Time Idea
The clocks sprang forward this past weekend. For this writing prompt your character can’t account for 24 hours of time. What happened?
