/3 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaHow annoyed would you be if the Bay, or the Gap, or Target, sewed a tag onto the clothes you buy? A little ad saying where you bought this shirt or pair of pants. And what if the patch was front and center, visible to all. How would you like “bought at Target” written on […]
Help me help you
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaIt was a delightful lunch with two friends. They had never met before but had heard of each other. A few too many beers were consumed and the conversation wandered to my book and the progress towards publication. “You’re going to take the stories about me out, aren’t you?” “Well no, they’re part of the […]
Words
/3 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaIf you expect me to know some fancy words because I call myself a writer you are wrong. Not many unusual words come from my little brain. It’s the joy of dyslexia and the joy of keeping things simple. In fact, one of the reasons I like writing more than speaking is because I can […]
Alex Left His Ties
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaThe quilt is on the bed in the meditation room. I hadn’t seen it for a long time. Beside it is a framed “story” I wrote years ago. I had forgotten about writing the story but I will never forget the quilt. And to this day, Alex still holds a profound place in my heart… […]
In The End…
/2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaIn the end, it all comes down to the experiences you get to share with the people around you.

Write a book
/6 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaAnyone can write a book. Put a pen to paper or get those fingers moving on your computer’s keyboard. Type or print or write a word. Then another. Now a sentence, then a paragraph, put together a chapter and repeat. Do this over and over again. At the end of it you will have a […]
Really?
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaAfter my blog last week a few people informed me that while they enjoyed the story, they needed to point out Humza Yousaf was not Scottish. This counter information was passionately given as to why a dark skinned man that Wikipedia proclaimed was “Islam” could not be considered Scottish. Really? Everyone is allowed their beliefs. […]
Intent with Integrity
/2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaI love politics. Even when I’m getting knocked down with the drama and challenge that comes with a political game, I still love to play. There is a little bit of politics in everything and for me it’s the ultimate show. Human nature plays a big role in politics. At least it does from my […]
Who Knew?
/4 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaThe boss appeared at my office door and said we needed to talk. I followed him into a small boardroom, we sat down, and then he proceeded to tell me I no longer had a job. One of the seventeen people laid off that fateful day. April 2, 1996. Hard to believe it was eighteen […]
Location, location, location
/3 Comments/in Uncategorized /by TriciaThere has been lots of on-line chatter about Amtrak adding a Writers Residency program on their trains. Free trips to authors working on manuscripts. I jumped on the bandwagon and send out little notes to Via Rail and Rocky Mountaineer in hopes these two Canadian companies would follow suit. Then I took a reality check. […]
