My Writer's Bucket List: Travel-Writing Wings On!
I'm spreading my writer-ly wings. Here is my first travel writing piece! I wonder if I'm the only one who tapes their dreams up on the wall? I have a scrap of paper taped to the wall next to my desk. It's my bucket list for writing. When I was a little kid I wanted to be both a jockey and a photojournalist when I grew up. Travel writing is pretty close to one of those. If I could be a…See More

Why Is Writing About Myself So Difficult?
(Me at my favorite place, an over-water house Bora-Bora, 1999. From the MyDestination.com article.)Promotion is part of the writer's equation. And I'm just not good at it... never have been. Yes, I was a shy kid, but that can't be an excuse to get out of letting the world know I've slaved away on a project I love. Now, that…See More

How To Go Fragrance-Free, Part One: Squeaky Clean
Posted on February 24, 2013 at 2:00pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Good thing I have writing to keep me busy, since I spend so much time alone. Fragrance has become an invisible fence between me and scent-using people.
I'm sharing a little about my life, "going fragrance-free and loving it." I’ve found that squeaky clean feels good, fragrance hurts. Clean is liberating, no more irritation. Clean is better for my skin, eyes, nose, and lungs. Perhaps yours, too.

Absolutely. I think that door opens automatically if you just click to join. We don't chat much on site, but we use the group to organize face-to-face gatherings occasionally. Hopefully one in June. A ways from Tahoe, but maybe you need an excuse to come down?

HI Alonna. I just moved back to the Bay Area from Nevada City. Spent a lot of time in the Tahoe region. Perhaps we will cross paths some time.
