Smells are linked to memories in incredible ways and I'm continually reminded of this when I smell cigarette smoke. Smoking isn't nearly as common in Canada as it used to be and social smoking has gotten much harder to do with heavy restrictions on where you can smoke. So when I landed in Europe for work a few days ago and smelt the cigarette smoke hanging in the air, I knew immediately that I was back in Europe without even looking at the arrival sign. It's not so bad here in Germany, but smoke heavy in the air will always take my memories immediately back to Italy 😬 What smell triggers your memories?

Writer Wednesday: going to try something new and see if we can't have a little fun! We always have fun here, but more fun! I'm going to write a couple lines from a famous poem and you type in the last word of the poem plus the middle word of your predictive text to fill in the blank and let's see the results!

Two truths and a lie. A game which lands somewhere between elementary school sleepovers and high school drama class where you disguise basic bragging as an entry-level game of deception. Kind of like a dating site. @d.p.haka.author tagged me to do this and I figured, why not? And despite having been tagged nearly 3 days ago, I have given absolutely no thought to this, so, wish us both luck. And because posting the answers tomorrow will muck with my flimsy posting theme, the answer is on the next slide.

What do you do when no one believes your story? That it couldn't possibly be true and yet, it is? Fae's life was changed for forever after her experiences in "The Gift" and she couldn't talk with anyone outside the village about it. Since Fae wanted nothing to do with the village afterwards, that made her very isolated. She coped, made a believable story for her trauma so that people could better accept her brokenness, but when it came time for her to return to the village in "The Eve's End", it made for some new challenges... Like how does she tell her husband he can't spend Christmas with her this year...
