January is almost done

The picture above is one that I took. On my way into work this morning. While I do lovesunrises in the morning on a cool day, I am glad that January is almost done. January is not my favorite month. December is my second least favorite month. And for more reasons than just because they’re … Continue reading January is almost done

Arlyn’s complication

Every time I think about Arlyn's story, a little chill goes through me. Although, I do wonder if I've made a mistake. In reviewing what I know about Arlyn and trying to discover a good starting point, I realized that I have two small issues. The first is that Tangled Magic and Walk the Path … Continue reading Arlyn’s complication

Back to a backstory

I have a little secret. Well, I guess I won’t after this (grin!). One of my all-time favorite characters is Arlyn from my Sacred Knight series. If you haven’t read the series, he’s Steigan’s mentor. I won’t say anything more there. Arlyn started off as a very simple character just meant to start Steigan on … Continue reading Back to a backstory

Unfinished

I went back through several unfinished blog posts that I have. I have about 15 of them. I was really hoping I’d have something which I could finish and use for tonight. Nope. While some of them are truly just rambling, some are just half baked. Some are outdated. Others I have clearly left behind. … Continue reading Unfinished

Why I like to write into the dark

Writing into the dark... discovery writer... pantster.... Lots of ways to describe a writer who just writes. No outlines. No character sketches. Just writing. I have always done this. I've tried to plot and design characters and regulate how things come out on the page. It just isn't me. I get bored with stories quickly … Continue reading Why I like to write into the dark

And there’s an eighth

A day ago or so, I thought I'd finished the 7th part of the Fenrir's Tales story that I've been working on (for far too long). It's the 27th one I've written. It wasn't, by any stretch, the end of this series of dog park stories I was doing. I wasn't sure that I really … Continue reading And there’s an eighth

Words rising

So last year, when I was in that crazy phase of thinking that a daily page count might inspire me and no longer being so concerned with daily word counts, I set my daily word goal to 1. Yep, one word a day. That way, even if I didn't have time in my day, I … Continue reading Words rising

Real life interruptions

Going to be a short blog today. I've been working on getting some information together today and that's taken a bit of time. Life doesn't stop just because I want to be creative, so unfortunately sometimes I have to take care of real life business. What a bummer! Yeah, I've been told that I need … Continue reading Real life interruptions

Sketching goats

Goats. I thought that since I unveiled my Thunder Goat Coffee mug yesterday, I would show some of the sketches that I did before settling on this design. At first, I actually had a different name for it. It went to my first reader with the original name before getting changed. Here's some of my … Continue reading Sketching goats

Devil in the details

I think I'm going to need a new tag for my blog. This one will be called, "lessons to remember." Yes, a great note to myself. And why do I come to this decision? Because I had a realization I know I've had before: that I need to draw more. Okay, it actually is a … Continue reading Devil in the details
