Thoughts to Ponder

12/31/2024

0 Comments

For the record, our children now consider me as an old-timer. I suspect it's the age thing along with me continually telling the stories from another era.

What do you think? Myth, superstition or common sense?

Finding Your Write Time

10/30/2024

0 Comments

I think there are very few of us writers who don't get excited when a project finishes, and it can finally be shared. This book is a new adventure for me, and I have to tell you, I have loved every minute of bringing it to life. From the presentation I gave on the same topic, to the last comments from my editor, I was inspired to get it done.

And now I ask you: Can’t find time to write? Want to write for yourself? Thinking of writing a book? Want to try your hand at writing Haiku or poetry? Finding Your Write Time will motivate you to find that time to start or continue writing.

“I’m here to share a conspiracy theory dubbed, Walnut Recipe Exchange.”

Monkey on a Chain

“No!” The director yelled, making him feel like a monkey on a chain, rather than Shakespeare. If only he could shrink away to the refreshment room for some watermelon. Sighing, he cracked his knuckles. Striding to centre stage he bellowed, “Et tu, Brute.”

This week, Esther Chilton's challenge tell a story in 43 words. You must use the following words somewhere in the story: Shakespeare, Watermelon, Shrink, Knuckles, Monkey

I am pleased to share with everyone that on this date I am the Guest Writer on Esther Chilton's UK Blog. And here's a taste of what you will read.

This week I’m delighted to feature a writer who often takes up my story challenges. Please give a warm welcome to Ann Edall-Robson.

I’ll now let Ann take over:

From where I am from guides me on the journey to where I go ~ Ann Edall-Robson.

I cannot say enough about how prompt writing has played an important part in my writing career. It is an activity that not only gives you a break from larger projects, but makes you think outside your creative comfort zone.

Prompt writing can open doors to bigger things, as did my submission to a prompt when I wrote Home, a 99 word story (no more, no less). Both Home and Crimson Sunset went on to be published in an Anthology.

Home
Crimson reds, smatterings of yellow, fading into the blackening sky. Standing in the open door of the log house he watched the sun set over the foothills... (Read More)

Crimson Sunset
“You will go to college!”

His dad had been adamant that he get an education after high school and Scott had fought the idea from the get-go. He couldn’t see the need for more smarts when he was going to take over the ranch from his dad. He had lived there all his life. All he needed to know surrounded him.

“Take business classes,” his dad had insisted. “They will do you the most good around here. You already know how to ranch... (Read More)

The dentist observed a yellow cloud wafting upward from a suitcase on the baggage trolley. An odour resembling sulphur, or a rotting egg. The woman beside him started to twitch, her square chin quivering, eyes pleading. The train’s whistle muffled her screams.

No longer could she hover in front of the looking glass primping and preening. The reflection saw her locked in a watery cage without salted fudge. Time to return the mirror for a refund.

Mr. Wiggle Mouse

0 Comments

The bowl of cereal sat untouched. The Prince preferred to eat Muesli with no milk, because he shared it with Mr. Wiggle Mouse when they played chess.
Cook’s reply to his complaint reminded him of a festering blister. “Embrace it as served, Sir. I kill vermin, not feed them…Sir.

This week, Esther Chilton's challenge tell a story in 50 words. You must use the following words somewhere in the story: CHESS, WIGGLE, MUESLI, EMBRACE, MOUSE, PRINCE, BLISTER, COMPLAINT

Treats after Chores

7/20/2024

2 Comments

These treats that have various names like: Fruit & Nut Squares, Chocolate Nut Date Squares, Coconut Chocolate Nut Bars, etc., are one of my favourites.

They taste sweet, yet have a savoury side to them as well; and make a nice treat after the chores are done, or anytime you want to have them!

Actually, they are pretty darned healthy for you...that did not come from my fingers.

2 oz bittersweet chocolate
1 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups pitted dates (approx 28)

Line a 9 x 9 cake pan with plastic wrap.

Melt chocolate and coconut oil over low heat. Stir often so it won’t burn or stick to the bottom. A double boiler would alleviate this. Once chocolate and oil are melted, remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

In a food processor, process almonds until they are roughly chopped. You don’t want any large pieces. Add coconut, chocolate chips, and salt. Stir to combine.

Process the dates on high speed until they are like a paste. Add chocolate an oil mixture to the dates. Use the processors pulse option to combine.

Add date mixture to almond and coconut mixture kneading with your hands to incorporate everything together.

Press mixture into cake pan. Refrigerate for at least one hour.

Cut into squares and keep in an airtight container to enjoy when you want.

NOTE: When I made these, I had some salted caramel chips that I used to replace the chocolate chips. In hindsight, I would have preferred to have chopped them up versus leaving them whole. Simply for texture, not taste.

Takedown

This week, Esther Chilton's challenge tell a story in 23 words. You must use the following words somewhere in the story: Hero, Leather, Notes, Triangle, Aubergine

The handsome hero wasn’t a suspect. The agent’s notes said otherwise. The aubergine coloured leather pouch was square, not a triangle. Takedown time!

This week, Esther Chilton's challenge is to write a 47 word story using: Toffee, Resign, Houseplant, Fling, Tablet, Ladder, Slogan

MEMO: You will be expected to resign should the due date for the slogan advertising the houseplant flavoured toffee not be met.
Panic ricocheted within his brain. Corporate ladder climbing and his fling with the lady VP would disappear. Creativity and the tablet screen sprang to life.

Spittin' Pits

This week, Esther Chilton's challenge is to write a 39 word story using: Chaos, Knitting, Island, Grandad, Plastic, Cherry.

Grandad taught me the art of knitting while he spit cherry pits into a plastic bucket. He believed knit one, pearl one, was the best way to deal with the chaos that surrounds us like water around an island.
