Seedy Characters

September 22, 2021 by cynthiarogan 2 Comments

I've always been in awe of seeds. To me they seem like the perfect tiny, sealed container of energy. Within them is everything they need. Just add water and light and presto chango—you get an entire plant. Sometimes that plant is a tree. Sometimes it gives us flowers, or fruits, or vegetables, or even something we humans have labeled a weed for one reason or another. There … [Read more...] about Seedy Characters

Cliffhanging

August 14, 2021 by cynthiarogan Leave a Comment

I couldn't decide what to blog about this month and it didn’t become clear to me until I started working on the graphics. I started out with a background.

Then there was the time (a few years later) that I decided to try crossing my arms while riding my bike. “What could go wrong?” Well, everything. For some reason, my brain didn’t connect that my left hand … [Read more...] about Dangerous

It Ain’t Just a River in Egypt

May 18, 2021 by cynthiarogan 4 Comments

Several years ago, I wrote a short story called “One Last Time” about a young woman who couldn’t seem to stop lying. Whenever she lied, she promised herself it would be the last time—that she would always tell the truth going forward. But if someone asked her a question, she couldn’t seem to resist the urge to fabricate a life she wished was really hers using a story she made … [Read more...] about It Ain’t Just a River in Egypt
