PLAGERISM
Wild Word Friday! Once I was interviewed for inclusion in a how-to book about writing. A few days later, I reread the interview and came across a sentence that I was afraid I had read elsewhere. I went through all my books on writing (and that’s quite a stash) but couldn’t find it. Finally I contacted the author of the how-to book…
About Music
About You! My brother and his daughter recently visited us from Oregon. We had a great time together, and because they flew here (in a plane, I mean), sometimes they borrowed our car.

Wild Word Friday! If you are fortunate enough to live or visit where city lights don’t mask the night sky, you probably spend portions of your life like I do – looking up and being amazed at the Milky Way, an earth-based view of part of our GALAXY.
