Good morning and Happy Monday, the most hated day of the week. That is a sweeping generalization, I realize. What if Monday is actually your Friday? Not everyone works the typical five day week, starting on Monday and ending on Friday, or even the same schedule two weeks in a row. What if you have…

Random Ruminations
Good morning and Happy Thursday! Again? If you’re confused, you aren’t alone, though that’s pretty close to my natural state lately. But since your regularly scheduled blogger, C. C. Cedras, is currently hip-deep in some revisions for Eden’s Fall, she has asked me to pinch-hit for her. (See what I did there? Another baseball reference.)…
Play Ball!
Good morning and Happy Monday! Today is the first day of Spring! I’m not losing my mind (okay, the jury is still out on that one) and I know I said that a couple of weeks ago, but today is really, truly the first day of Spring, because the “Boys of Summer” are back! Today…
Ready to Make Some History?
Or just some coffee? Good morning and Happy Monday! (Already?! Yes, already.) Today is the 86th day of 2017. (Already?! Yes, already.) One of my brothers finally got all of his Christmas decorations put away just this past weekend. There are buildings in my neighborhood that still have giant wreaths on them. And If you’re…
Inside the Writers Studio, Part 3 – Will MacKenzie
For today’s episode, we’re going to change it up a bit. Since our guest can be a bit prickly (read obstinate, mule-headed, unforthcoming) when it comes to answering personal questions or attempts to delve into his background, we’ve asked Kenna Campbell, MFC and star of Eden’s Fall, whom we met in part…
It’s Here! It’s Finally Here!
Spring Thunder -Mark Van Doren Listen, The wind is still, And far away in the night — See! The uplands fill With a running light. Open the doors. It is warm; And where the sky was clear– Look! The head of a storm That marches here! Come under the trembling hedge– Fast, although you fumble……
French Toast For Everyone!
Good morning and Happy Monday! I hope you all had a grand weekend. We here in the frigid northeastern portion of the United States are bracing for a winter storm. It is, afterall, technically still winter. Of course the way Mother Nature has been careening through the seasons like a pinball trapped in an arcade…
It’s Only Words
Good morning and Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was spent relaxing and recuperating. The most productive thing I did for two days (other than producing Saturday’s blog post) was to get my hair cut (which was sorely needed). The good news is that I feel good! Yay for antibiotics! Better living through pharmacology…

My New Normal?
Good morning and Happy…Thursday? I’m completely discombobulated by the fact that today is not Monday. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) If it were Monday I’d have told you about the fab Oscar party I went to and how well I did on my ballot and, hey, what about that ending?! Instead, though, we…
