Writing Distractions
Blurry white buckets
Silently build pristine hills
Mystery mountains
~ Haiku, by Angie Quantrell 2015
This is what I am writing about now.
But I am distracted by this happening out my window.
Snow, lovely, snow!
Somehow snow and Phoenix do not mix.

Beautiful Christmas story. Thanks, Sally!

Gingerbread Delight
wafts of spice tickle
quivering noses and tongues
gingerbread delight
~ Angie Quantrell
There is most decidedly a reason that gingerbread has become synonomous with Christmas.
The scent.
The fragrance of warm spices, the steam of a hot oven, the soft melting of toasted cookies melting in your mouth…
Welcome, gingerbread. Welcome, Christmas.

The Stack (of Paper) – My Baby

| The completed manuscript with sources, sketches, and documents |
This is what I’ve been up to. Instead of blogging.
There is not much time left in my days (weeks, months) after planning, writing, editing, printing, sourcing, compiling, emailing, packaging, and mailing this baby.
Oh, yes. This is my baby. The first half of a 12-month activity book for preschoolers and missions has been delivered (emailed and mailed) to my faithful preschool resource team at Woman’s Missionary Union.

Now they get to do their huge part.
And I will continue on with the above steps for the second half of the book.
The writing life is grand.
