Looking Back on 2013 and Saying Hello to 2014

As 2014 approaches, I couldn't help thinking: this is the year STC became STC. This was my first year blogging! Thinking about that, I decided I would do a 2013 year in review for Searching The Clouds. Feel free to join in, if you'd like! Just use the picture above and link my blog in …

If I Were…

I was going through old posts on my friend's blog when I found this. I thought I would try it. If I were a gemstone, I'd be a diamond (my birthstone) because it can be multiple colors. If I were a scent, I'd be the smell of rain/dew early on a summer morning. If I were a …

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodbye!

Jane Blogger (The Anything Blog) and I had a wonderful time interviewing each other (via email) yesterday. My notes on her responses are in parentheses. *STC has been acting up lately. I apologize for the layout, but I have tried to fix it and it will not cooperate. Bear with me as I try and …

Daily Prompt: A Source Of Anxiety (Continued)

I posted the prompt for this (via The Daily Post) earlier and here is my response. Nothing, stretching on forever. The void fills my thoughts. I stuggle to keep my grip on what is real and what is in my mind, but to no avail. The darkness never ends, and everything is silent. Suddenly, a …
