What Was Written Can Be Unwritten

I was looking at a first draft of a story. Words - all those beautiful letters and still my favourite key on the keyboard has become delete! Delete - no! They're beautiful words I remind myself, as I always do, and you wrote them. They should not be deleted. Maybe, possibly, they're the best combination of words that the universe has ever seen. I caress them by repeating them through a number of variations. Yep, proven - no one could have written it better.…See More

Blow Torch Pizza

So we had pizza tonight. A very good pizza I might add. Pretty much on par with the best pizza I've had to date in a little restaurant in Minneapolis. But I'm betting this pizza didn't get cooked quite like that one. I'm not the cook in the family. Apparently, I'm not creative enough because I never would have thought of this! It wasn't barbequing a pizza that I wouldn't have…See More

And the Grief Goes On

If it plugs into a wall this week I want nothing to do with it. That goes for computers, TV's and any other electronic device including those that allege that batteries aren't the same as plugging directly into an electrical outlet. They're from that family - that family of gadgets that has caused me nothing but grief these last few days. In fact I'm so annoyed I might just consider…See More

It's All About Me

Today is a new day and it feels rather anti-climatic. It's a quiet day post award ceremonies. Yesterday I accepted the City of Regina Writing Award. Amazing to win as the award is time-honoured and the competition was impressive. Weeks ago I was excited when I received the news. Then the other shoe fell. That's when I was informed that not only would I be giving a reading but the award ceremony would be "all…See More

Good Reads - Forgotten Authors

My house is in turmoil - good turmoil. Today front closet doors are being hung. Isn't it amazing how renovations can languish for years? You forget your first impression on seeing the house - "great place but closet doors would be nice." In the chaos of life, the obvious is forgotten. Kind of like great books I have read. I've been caught a few times reading the books of one author and enjoying each one and then, for some inexplicable reason, moving on. It's not a conscious decision,…See More
