This drabble kind of ran away from me and the focus (puppet), but I'm okay with it because it's helping me understand my characters and their world better. “Wren?” a voice piped up from beyond the tent flaps.

Top Ten Tuesday: Reasons I’m Thankful for Libraries
This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is a Thankful Freebie. Since I think libraries are important, I thought I'd share a list of reasons why I'm thankful for libraries.

August-ish Break
I've said before that taking a blog break every couple months has been helpful for me. I don't have one specific reason to take a break in August other than it just feels like the right time. My creative well feels a bit dried up and I would rather spend it working on something else … Continue reading August-ish Break

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Books I Read Because Someone Recommended Them to Me. I have a lot of people who recommend me books.
