I should have been writing. Instead, I watched part of a painting video. I should have been taking down the doorway gate and putting that into the doorframe of my writing office and resetting all the other gates. Instead, I watched part of a painting video and played with Merlin. I should have been doing … Continue reading Should have been instead
Words are coming slowly tonight. In about half an hour, I've written almost 200. Yep, that's slow. But, I'm heading into the climax of Arlyn's book. Everything is rounding to this moment. It's like a rollercoaster where it feels like it just keeps making this long, slow climb, and any moment you know you will … Continue reading Pulling the threads to tie
I feel the next idea brewing. I'm not quite done with Arlyn's book, but I feel the new one rushing toward me with the same enthusiasm with Arlyn's did. I feel like they are related stories too, but I might have to start this one in order to finish Arlyn's. I can't quite help but … Continue reading Next up?
My front yard has now had its first mowing and watering for this year. But I'm slowly losing another night. I ordered more business cards and did some other important life activities. I haven't gotten any writing done today. I'm working on that now. I'd really like to finish Arlyn's book next week. At this … Continue reading Adaptable
The magical girl short story, Hot Yoga, will be out in paperback soon. I worked at getting that up today. I've also been working on Arlyn's story. It feels like slow going here and I know it's just because I feel the ending coming up. I keep reminding myself to just have fun with it, … Continue reading Another paperback
My oldest son graduated from our local junior college today. His ceremony was fairly early in the afternoon, so we've spent the day playing games and going out to dinner. Now, it's time for me to get some words in. Family first. Now, words. But I'm tired because I got up to go to water … Continue reading Family, then words
Gohaldinest is my city in Tangled Magic and Walk the Path. I've been thinking about it a lot recently. In Arlyn's time, Gohaldinest is supposed to be a myth, and yet I find myself making coy references to it in Arlyn's story. In a way, it's frustrating me. I feel like there's more to this … Continue reading Missing pieces
I finished recording Help Wanted, Call Loki this evening, and in the time that it took me to narrate those last three chapters, it snowed about two inches. It certainly shocked Merlin and myself when I took him outside. It's been snowing all evening now, but I hadn't looked out to see how much has … Continue reading In the booth and out
I started off so well this morning with Arlyn's story. In about an hour and a half, I wrote over 1,200 words. Then I crashed. I should have quit then, let the cats' sleep energy take me over, but I kept trying to write. In the next three hours, I wrote about 500 words. Okay, … Continue reading A day of writing and reading
I am just speeding along with Arlyn's story. It is going utterly fantastic right now. Of course, I am in the first third of the story and still working on the setup. I'm trying to ignore the critical voice telling me that I'll slow down once I start to worry about where the story is … Continue reading Special scenes
