My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • I’m sitting waiting on a stranger’s back deck listening to the beautiful sounds of nature. The birds are singing to one another and the trees are whispering their secrets spreading from one leaf to another like ripples that turn into waves that crash up on the beach. I’m reminded of this book I read late last year: The Hidden Life of Trees, and wonder what old stories are being told in the whispering…

  • Share one line of your own writing Seems like one line is not enough…. Today is the end of the #whyshewriteschallenge and I must say that I’ve enjoyed it overall. It also served to push me into writing and sharing more. So, really for the last 31 days I have been sharing my writing as this is the general way I write for general consumption. Readers are welcome to read through the blog…

  • How do you support other women writers? Initially, my answer to this was that I really don’t. 🤭 However, after a bit more thought, 🤔I realized that the best way that I can support any writer is by reading her writing. 🤓 I enjoy reading a variety of books from Danielle Steel, Nora Roberts to Laura Ingalls Wilder to Ayn Rand, Margaret Atwood, Elizabeth Gilbert to, of course, the classics with Jane Austen,…

  • What is your writing goal this year? At the beginning of the year, I avoided publicly sharing any goals for this year so that I did not feel disappointed by the end of it. 😅 Also, that way no one could point out if I missed something – not that anyone keeps track of my life, or wants to, as much as I do. 😜 Still, I do make them. And, I did…

  • If you had one writer wish, what would it be? I’m not quite sure how to answer this, but I suppose I can interpret it however I like. My wish for my writing is to touch people. Whether it is to make them laugh 😂, ponder 🤔 the world 🌎, feel angry 😡 at a different opinion, or just open their eyes 👀 to something new, I am happy. Sure, like any writer…

  • Everyone who know me knows that being in the kitchen is not my favorite place to be. If given a choice, I’d rather be eating the food than making it. 😀 Growing up with my family, the kitchen was a generally happy place. I would sit on a bar stool and chat with my mom or dad as they made dinner or baked something. Despite my father’s best efforts to get me to…

  • Who is your favorite writer on Instagram? Tag them! This is too similar to Day 12 and 20, and both times I had no answer. Not enough time has passed for me to have changed my answer so… this is all I got for this one. 🤷🏽‍♀️ ~T 😀

  • The look on your face when you’re editing This picture connects to Day 25 and the reality of my editing. Actually, I don’t edit that much, but to be fair I haven’t completed a full manuscript that I have had to edit. 😂 My published pieces were edited by the publication editors, so I was able to pass the responsibility on to them. 😜 When I do need to edit my own work,…

  • Do you have a pet who shares your writing space? Cats 🐈 are my spirit animal even though I identify with eagles 🦅 . For as long as I can remember I have had cats despite never really staying in one place long enough to see them grow old. My parents kept my childhood kitty and throughout my life kitties have come and gone in my home as I’ve moved country to country.…

  • Post a picture of your favorite notebook Rather than the notebook itself, I’ve shown my leather cover, which was a bit of a splurge from one of my favorite stationery stores in Tokyo. However, the red makes me happy 😃 to write in each day. Recently, I’ve been migrating to a bullet journal style of journaling as I also like to collect ticket stubs and note about my experiences, etc. Also, it suits…
