Third day on the roads of Idaho for the Western Byways Editorial Team (see 'Western Byways on the Road... Carey, Idaho and Ice Fishing, Hot Springs, and a Duck-Hunting Writer)... Lunchtime... We’re parked on a dirt road in the narrow plain between the Lost River Range and the White Cloud Range of mountains. Normally at this time … Continue reading From Volcanic Hotspots to an Atomic Town

“Western Byways” on the Road… Carey, Idaho
The Western Byways editorial staff is on the road for a few days! The Editor has rented a motor-home, our teeny-tiny Photographer has designated herself Driver (which is kind of like watching a minnow steer a whale shark), my husband is reprising his road-role as The Traveling Chef, and I've had my iPad fired up … Continue reading “Western Byways” on the Road… Carey, Idaho
Reprise: ‘Blogger Call to Action’

Growing a Writer: Just Add Marker
My daughter wanted a story. So I began with "Once upon a time" (which parents probably recognize as the stalling technique employed while a distracted multi-tasking mom thinks of a story to tell)... but I got no further than this opening before she interrupted.

In Which my ‘Tab’ Key Becomes a ‘Tabby’ Key
"Don’t stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed." ~George Burns Burns probably had another profession in mind when he dropped that quip, but thanks to the invention of the internet and the laptop, I do get to make money from bed... as a freelance writer. And as a bonus, every day is … Continue reading In Which my ‘Tab’ Key Becomes a ‘Tabby’ Key
