scientist. He would alway wear a shirt that said’’ Yes I actually am a Rocket Scientist.’’ Man that was my favorite shirt of his. In my grandparents house he had his own study made just for him building stuff. The concrete room had the furnace and water heater to the left and a wooden stand for his town. In the center was the place he built everything. “The study’’- as we would call it- was where my childhood begins. From being months old to my 18th birthday this was my place of peace. I…

Time has been important both in modern literature and Virginia Woolf’s novels. Writers before her understood time as a linear chain of past, present and future, therefore the structure of such novels would be created out of a chronological succession of events.

Many times we feel that wine tasting involves long trips to places like Santa Ynez, Paso Robles or Napa and often fail to look in our own backyards. Four Brix is one of those local diamonds in the rough being a part of the Ventura Wine Trail that I have shamefully failed to visit in a long time. Gary and Karen Stewart have been long time friends and supporters of Grape of the Night (GOTN). My last visit to Four Brix was in 2013 with the GOTN group where Gary not only tasted us on their fine…

Jimmie While working at Wal-Mart, I met Jimmie. Jimmie was another brother who wasn’t worth my time. You couldn’t tell me this at the time though. I still had the mentality that I could change a brother. He didn’t look all that, but I figured maybe that was my problem always getting with the popular or attractive guys; maybe if I don’t really focus on looks, I will get a good brother. The reality that I know now is that you cannot change anyone that doesn’t want to change, and just…

Antigone takes place in Thebes, located in Greece. It was written by Sophocles, in 441 B.C. It was written in such different settings and times unlike my book, Reckless. Reckless was written by Cecily von Ziegesar, in the year 2005. So even though Antigone is a greek tragedy which took place a long time ago, and Reckless is a more modern book, it has many similarities. One similarity between the characters in each book is, Antigone and Callie are prideful like Ismene and Jenny are gentle.…

Like most people who share the state of conciousness, I am prone to day dream. I often float away on the soft clouds of my fantasies, drifting high above reality in the vast blue sky. As a writer, these fanciful mental journeys sometimes lead me to imagine what my perfect writing environment would look like. I am not alone in this wistful contemplation; many other authors, painters, and musicians join me in exploring this mental path, each envisioning their own versions of the ideal creative…

stormy, afternoon I was in the in the drawing room watching the rain as it fell. Nothing ever happens to me, nothing exciting at least. Mother was downstairs in the sitting area, lying around like the drunk she was. Father had tried to get her to stop but it was no use. My mother says that at one point everyone was a drunk. In the 1920’s everyone drank alcohol and danced all night. When she was in her less drunken moods, she would sit me down and tell me all about her time in New York. I was…

Conversations with professional Landscape Architects have been evolved. I used to be encourage to keep going or just listen with attention to them talking about projects. Now, I can have those conversations…

Ever since I was little girl, I have had one accomplishment that I want to fulfill: to study in another country and at the same time, learn about a new culture. My aunt moved from Norway to the U.S. when she was nineteen years old to start college and has lived here ever since. She is my great role model. I have been lucky to be able to visit her many times, in fact, as many as seven. When I started my second year in high school, I wanted to be an exchange student in the United States, but I…
