    Weekly Photo 3/52 for 2013: Silk Floss Tree

    ByKristen Koster January 20, 2013February 6, 2013

    Today’s weekly photo is of one of two Silk Floss Trees (Chorisia speciosa) on our property. This tree is holding on to its blooms as long as it possibly can, despite the lows in the 20s and frost several mornings in a row last week. I haven’t been able to get an interesting picture of…

    Staying Positive Despite Rejection

    ByKristen Koster January 18, 2013May 29, 2019

    This week in my accountability group’s How I Write series we were asked, “Every writer goes through ups and downs. What do you do to keep positive about what you’re working on?” I chose to interpret this as “How do you focus on staying positive despite rejection?” Because, we writer’s know, there are different forms…

    Weekly Photo 2/52 for 2013: Early Gazania Bloom

    ByKristen Koster January 13, 2013February 6, 2013

    Today’s entry for my weekly photo challenge is one of the confused Gazanias in the back yard. The temperatures this week have been unusually cooler for SoCal. The highs have been in the mid-50s and the lows have been in the upper 20s. Yes, the natives think it’s parka weather. I’m happy in shirt sleeves….

    “What will you be doing this year to expand your comfort zone (in your writing or real life)?” is the question asked this week in my accountability group’s How I Write series. We’ve touched on this topic before and you can follow the progression in my thinking from my post “Get Out of Your Comfort…

    Weekly Photo 1/52 for 2013: Camelia

    ByKristen Koster January 6, 2013February 6, 2013

    As some of you know, last year I started a 365 project where you take and post a picture for every day of the year. I stalled out in September and even though I tried to pick it up again in October, the momentum was gone. This year, I decided to take a lot of…
