I spent last week thinking that I really needed to write a newsletter for my email list. I woke this morning with the intention to do just that. Then I started actively avoiding it. I just don’t know how to re-engage and start to be consistent. Let’s face it, the only reason I get my … Continue reading Squeaking by
I’m very happy and excited to be writing Arlyn’s story. After I finished writing my blog a few nights ago when I mentioned that I was at a hard spot, I started considering the world and the characters. The world at this time is one without magic. There’s a secret organization struggling to survive. Mysteries … Continue reading Trust in action
I feel like I’m at a strange point in Arlyn‘s story. I’m just beyond that one-third point and I’m trying write through it. I feel like I’m missing something. I want something awesome, something to add an additional level to the story where readers who has gone through the Sacred Knight series will just be … Continue reading When a story can go any direction
I spent my painting time today photographing to catalogue them. I was glad to find that the one I thought I’d mid-numbered wasn’t actually numbered. For some reason, maybe an alternate universe sliding over, I never actually put the sequence on it, never written it on the substrate. I don’t know why I thought I … Continue reading Photos that sit
When I picked Merlin up today from doggie day care, the groomer there said, “He’s always so happy.” Merlin panted happily all the way home. Yes, he was so happy. Everything was just delightful for him. Before I picked Merlin up and I was driving home, I saw a big yellow smiley face painted on … Continue reading Merlin’s happy day
So, last night I fully intended to wake early, get my 1,000 words in, then spend the rest of the day painting. I fully thought I’d be start painting about 11:00 this morning. Yeah. Here’s what really happened. I had a hard time waking up and didn’t manage to stay awake until 9 this morning. … Continue reading All good things in time
Well, so much for the templates I downloaded yesterday. I tried using one of them but I was having issues with the text doing what I wanted. I ended up designing my own template. Unfortunately, I still had issues. Apparently one program doesn’t copy text to another very well. I feel like I keep hitting … Continue reading Kids book underway
I’ve been focusing on words today. I’ve been half wondering if that is fear of stepping up to the easel. I’m going to write a quick blog, then I’m going to go prove myself wrong, even if I only get a little bit of painting done today. I will get to the easel. Last night, … Continue reading Words and templates
Last night was hard. When I write my blog, I didn’t want to admit how I’d been completely stopped on the painting I’d been working on. As much as I wanted to write last night after finishing the blog, I found it hard to sit down and start the process after the depressing stop to … Continue reading Gold star
Rainbow on the horizon. I took this photo this evening and laughed that it was right over my house. Probably wishful thinking, but I’ll take it. I had such an urge to paint tonight that I’ve been doing that and now I need to go get some writing done. I also need to dig out … Continue reading Rain in the valley
