The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS March 1, 2025

It’s the last Friday of February, and I’m here with your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. On one hand, I’m ready for winter to be over. On the other hand, I don’t have to deal with mosquitoes and tornadoes… Let’s keep winter! Here’s this week’s prompt: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “mouse.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy! After you’ve written your Saturday…

A lovely day

It was a lovely day to walk to our local polling station to vote in Ontario’s provincial election. Photo: My son Chris walking ahead of me on a snowy sidewalk with houses on the right and trees on the left. Alex waited with me while I took the picture.

One-Liner Wednesday - Useless superpowers

Here’s this week’s prompt: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “in person.” Use it any way you’d…

One-Liner Wednesday - If I didn't laugh, I'd cry

I just love it when Alex gets hold of my phone and enters holidays into my calendar as events. Like this past Monday morning at 7:30, my phone pinging and cheerfully letting me know “It’s Family Day – you don’t have to wake up early!” 🙄 If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help…

Weekended Update

Not to be confused with SNL’s more famous “Weekend Update” sketch. In book publishing news … I’m almost finished the edit of Book One of my new vampire series, now entitled “Of Crimson Descent.” Because it’s a reverse harem/why choose romance (one heroine, multiple heroes), I’m planning to release it under the pen name L.G. Hill, just to keep it separate from my other titles. I’m still trying…

One-Liner Wednesday - I don't learn

Every Tuesday after I write my One-Liner Wednesday post, I tell myself I’ll have a whole seven days to come up with something to write for this challenge next week, but every Tuesday afternoon, I sit at my desk and ask myself, “What the heck am I going to write for One-Liner Wednesday?” If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your…

The curse of the treadmill

A small life

I don’t live a big life. My world is small. Where once I used to travel to places like the Caribbean and Japan, my trips are reduced to the distance between my house and the grocery store, Alex’s day program, and the pharmacy. And occasionally out of town for appointments. I don’t fly—I drive or if it’s close enough, walk. So it’s no wonder that I live much of my life outside the confines of…

You know you're distracted when...

I’m so distracted this morning, I just tried to pour cream into my coffee without taking the lid off the cream container. Or maybe I just need more coffee. Yeah. That last one. Anyway, that was my laugh for the day.

#SoCS - What I've got

The bulk of what I’ve got is time. And work. And procrastination. They take up all my time. They fill me up until my head explodes. But it’s weird; I can’t do nothing. I used to be able to do nothing, once upon a time. I could sit and just stare out the window, or listen to music and just daydream. Daydreaming, I guess, has become my job. My daydreams go on paper to be shared. Does that mean I…

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Feb. 8, 2025

It’s Friday! And I’m here with your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I’ve spent more time doom scrolling in the last week than I have working on my manuscripts. I need to train myself to work before social media. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Here’s this week’s prompt: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “bulk.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun! After you’ve written…

Where are you?

It’s been a while—like, a really long while—since I posted anything about social media. Since I’m everywhere that I have an account every day, why don’t we connect? Here’s where you can find me: Facebook page *Facebook personal Twitter (I rarely post there or go there at all these days.) Instagram (I want to start using it more.) Threads Bluesky (Like Twitter but better.) I’ve kind of…

Preorder and support Breast Cancer Research

There’s a new romance anthology coming out soon, and I have a brand new short story in it! My contribution to the anthology is “Fired Up,” a romcom that’s set in the town of Bevershire, home of Woody O’Flanagan’s Pub. There are a few cameos from characters you’ll know if you’ve read the “Once a Week at Woody’s” series. Here’s what an early reader of my contribution said: “…such a cute story! A…

One-Liner Wednesday - I don't understand

I don’t understand cameras—both photos were taken when it was equally dark outside. Photo: A snowy scene with a small front yard surrounded by bushes, trees and houses in the background, all covered in snow. The sky is almost as white as the snow. Photo faces northeast. Photo: A view through a darkened window with gauzy drapes and outside, the roof of my neighbour’s house and a snow-covered…
