I’m down to the final leg of Arlyn’s story. Less than 10,000 words to go from my length estimate. I’m realizing my estimate might be a couple thousand off or so, meaning I think I’ll need extra words to finish the story. Still, that’s not a bad amount to be off by with an estimate. … Continue reading Almost done, I think
For those of you wondering, I did stay up on Sunday night to get all my words in. So, the weekly goal streak is at 4. I had just been so close when I finished the blog on Sunday that I just couldn’t resist. I was also so glad yesterday to get the Patreon posts … Continue reading Big update
I’ve just spent two hours in a writing blaze. I do have over 2,000 words to show for it through. Wow. I was doing very well until I had to stop and look something up in Sword and Shield (book 6). I love the Seneca quotes. I really do think that I studies with Seneca … Continue reading Pulled in and falling
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’m finding myself getting in a rush to finish my drummer book. It’s hard, but I’m trying to pull the reins slowly. I know that I really need to practice endings. Well, that’s actually what I’ve been practicing on in several stories, but this one I’m trying to practice appropriate length of endings. I always … Continue reading Not so fast
I returned to my first story today. I figure I have about 6,000 words left to finish up this story. I really want to keep it on track to finish it this week. That means I can’t let myself get distracted by Arlyn’s story, no matter how much I want to go work on it. … Continue reading Sun drenched weeds
Okay, I confess: I’m having such a delightful time writing Arlyn’s story. I did start off dictating it this morning because I wanted to get through some words, but it ended up not working. I lost a bunch of time. While that did feel like a setback at first, it ended up being okay. I … Continue reading Delightful time
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
I have made it to the castle. Above is a picture of the forest inside the castle. See the beautiful Aurora Borealis (northern lights) in the distance? Now I await seeing my knight and his princess. Someone around me is wearing annoying perfume. Although it might also be denture cream. A whiff is more than … Continue reading Northern Lights
