Just because it’s been awhile since I’ve posted any photos for my friend Belinda at www.busymindthinking.com. The blossoms are now gone, but this post helps me relive their beauty, a beauty that reminds me of Belinda. (more…)

Just sharing a friend’s pick-me-up that was also a pick-me-up for me :) The scarf in the photo was one that I had sent to Belinda a couple of weeks ago and yesterday I was on pins and needles (pun intended) as to whether it had arrived (taking a slow plane from Florida to Canada, of course). Soon after I asked her about the scarf, it arrived (such are my mental powers). But not only the scarf which I knitted for her, hoping it would bring a bit of Spring to her long Winter. Belinda also received a bundle of other gifts and she put together this wonderful photo, using her scarf as a frame. Belinda gave me a perfect and happy end to a long, frustrating day. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Belinda!

I’m very honored to have a story published on We Poets Show It: http://wepoetsshowit.com/2013/10/31/debut-writer-love-letter-to-a-young-man-in-a-foreign-land-by-marie-ann-bailey/ Like so many of my story or poetry ideas, this one just slowly emerged and then wouldn’t leave my head until I wrote it down. How I came about to write it reminded me that my writing muse is like Nature: she dictates when, where, how I will express myself, much like Nature will determine when, where, and how a farmer can grow his crop. This is probably one reason I have such a hard time with writing prompts. The more I want to do them, the more my muse recedes into shadows.
This particular story, “Love Letter to a Young Man in a Foreign Land,” is special to me because it’s part fiction, part fact. It evokes for me the pain and doubt I actually felt back then, and that I’m relieved to no longer feel, unless I’m writing about it. Please follow the link over to We Poets Show It and let me know there what you think of my little story.

From Readful Things Blog: read this for the comments and then leave a comment.
This is actually a writing post…kind of. We all know I like titles that drag you guys in because I am a comment whore.
Plus Julian Froment started this conversation and asked me not to tell everyone even though he said it in the comments. He is a very reserved gentleman who would never swear and/or make a lewd comment to anyone anywhere. What we like to refer to as proper English Gent. I lie. I digress. Go check out his blog anyway. I hang out there. We can have a drink.
So here is the question. When you are writing and reading, how important is it to you that the characters fall in love with one another before they fall into bed? Do they ever have to fall in love or is the act itself good enough to satisfy you?
When I write love scenes, they can…
