Posted on April 28, 2016 by Silver James

Wasn’t it Thomas Wolfe who once said, “You can never go home again.”? And yes, please ignore the punctuation. My brain exploded yesterday afternoon and I’m still putting the pieces back together. All sorts of “home” quotes are now in … Continue reading →

I haven’t made these yet so I can’t attest to how good they taste but they’re on the menu for sooner than later. I’ll probably play with the recipe to find an easier way to do the beet. Still, when … Continue reading →

Thursday Thoughts: Lists

So…Yesterday intruded. A lot. No new words on NIGHT MOVES, or any other upcoming projects. No Universal thoughts to share. Just stuffs happening and keeping me distracted. Sadly, no bear stuffs because bear stuffs would be infinitely more interesting than … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words: Nod If You Can See This

Posted on April 20, 2016 by Silver James

Another hump day, another “prompt” for #1lineWed. Today’s word is **NOD**. Holy cannoli but my characters nod a lot–at least in the first draft. Which this is. So, cut me some slack, ‘kay? Those nods/nodded will mostly change to chin … Continue reading →

I haven’t done a link post in a long time. Here are links to some things that made me laugh and/or think lately. First, this link is totally NSFW–not because of pics (there are none) but because of subject matter. … Continue reading →

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Illusions

Posted on April 14, 2016 by Silver James

Dear Universe, I am challenged every day, by reality and illusions both. As a writer, though, it’s probably the illusions that give me the most grief. Pulling gossamer strings from thin air, weaving them into words that tell a story, … Continue reading →
