Choosing One Another

November 17, 2015November 16, 2023 / Writings By Rosemary / 9 Comments

Seems each time I started a blog post in the last two weeks, I was wonderfully side-inspired for my book in progress, working title 'Down Under' (aka 'In The Land of Oz').  I figured, the best way to give an update was to offer a peek at the non-love, love story of Ava and Daniel, loosely based … Continue reading Choosing One Another

Congruence in Kitty Hawk on the Outer Banks

August 25, 2015October 26, 2016 / Writings By Rosemary / 16 Comments

Unlike the Lost Colony that landed in the Outer Banks of North Carolina in 1587, my whereabouts in Kitty Hawk will be well known if only because I am a lone, Texas woman traveling with a cat.  Gatita does not, however, partake of the beach with me on my early morning walks or my end-of-the-day … Continue reading Congruence in Kitty Hawk on the Outer Banks

Vices in Week Two

June 17, 2015June 11, 2016 / Writings By Rosemary / 6 Comments

Last Saturday, I created a dinner out of organic peanut butter, leftover chipotle sauce, and two scoops of Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream that had been forgotten in the back of the freezer in a decaying container.  As a dessert, I added a freshly peeled carrot – a real carrot and not one of those tasteless baby … Continue reading Vices in Week Two

Live Forever

November 17, 2014September 23, 2024 / Writings By Rosemary / 6 Comments

Today I will spread the last of Hook’s ashes. In the movies when a person does this, it's made to seem as though ashes are but a cup full maybe two. The reality is that a cremated human body produces more than four liters of ashes.  I only know this because I dropped off four, … Continue reading Live Forever

A Pilgrimage of Milestones

August 14, 2014April 19, 2016 / Writings By Rosemary / 16 Comments

In two weeks, I'll be on a plane to Australia. Someone said that I was taking a pilgrimage but I've realized that this entire year has been nothing but a pilgrimage of milestones.  The first birthdays, the first holidays, the first trip back to the Texas coast, our anniversary in June which by the way is not … Continue reading A Pilgrimage of Milestones

Who is Rosemary?

Unknown's avatarA writer, runner, and talent recruiter, I tell true tales on the stage and the page in the U.S. and the U.K. After winning two Moth StorySLAMS in Houston and London and opening at the Paramount Theatre ATX in 2024 for The Moth’s annual mainstage event, I'm returning to my writing roots. I launched two, one-act plays, The Mystery of the Plaid Shirts and the commissioned, A Pest Control Affair, via Hyde Park’s Frontera Fest. In 2025, I co-wrote my first screenplay, a comedy adventure about the intimacy needs and wants of women in the middle of their lives. My current WIP is a collection of essays + corresponding screenplay, working title *In the Land of Oz.* And ... if you’re into #Education and #Research, check out the Hook Wild Basin Endowment at WildBasin.org. Created by my late husband, Hook, and me our endowment awards up to 5 Hook Fellows $8,000/year with over 85 Hook Fellows to date. #NatureMatters.
