Dean Wesley Smith often repeats Mike Resnick’s saying. “If you aren’t earning $500 per day, you are not having a good day.” For the last month, I have really taken this advice to heart. I admit that I’ve modified it compared to the way he’s using it. I’ve been using it as a gauge for … Continue reading Values or just fake numbers
I did get words done last night after all. Woo hoo. Not as much as I would have liked, but it was a good number. Hint: it’s never as many words as I want to get done. I did get painting pictures all done today. I think I now have a process which will work. … Continue reading Finally cataloguing paintings
"Don't become good at something you don't want to do." That's an anonymous quote I've run into twice lately. The universe is trying to tell me something. And, it's too late. At first when I ran into this quote this morning, I got a little upset. I've become good at bookkeeping and I felt for … Continue reading The basics
I had a moment to paint this evening. I thought I’d show a couple pictures of paintings I’m working on. 4”x4” acrylic on wrapped canvas I’m going to have to look at this one under my studio lights to see if I’m really finished with this one or if I still have work to do, … Continue reading Blue Forest
Boy, would I have been mad. After the show finished today, I packed up and came back to the beautiful Airbnb where I’ve been staying. I had dinner, then went out to the patio for a while. I tried to relax. It feels so strange sitting still. Then I got to talking with the owner, … Continue reading I almost forgot
Day 2 of my office being open and I didn't go in there today at all. Today, I just had to take a moment to get caught up on several things I've been putting off. I have been doing bookkeeping since this morning. It really needed done. I didn't realize that I'd already done a … Continue reading Sometimes you just have to give in
I've been fairly focused today even though I got up later than normal. I guess I needed the sleep. My words got done. I even started thinking about about how I could write Loki/Fenrir stories in tandem with a novel. It's possible, and even an exciting idea. Well, I think it's exciting. I'm really thinking … Continue reading Thinking about tandem projects
Best laid plans... Yeah... I'd planned out what I was going to do over the next few days, but I suddenly had some eBay shipments to get out. And I had issues. My printer seems to be out of cyan ink and will not print even in black and white. It's such an ink hog. … Continue reading Short night, busy day
It's Wednesday, and I think that the obsession I've had with my painting recently has made my brain focus the business on it today. I added even more paintings to my website and a couple more magnets. For half a moment, I thought I had all of my 4"x6" paintings on my store. Then I … Continue reading A laughing Muse on the shoulder
As we head into the new year, I'm looking for new, exciting avenues. One of these, I've decided to restart my Patreon page, which would allow people to contribute on a monthly basis in return for books, art, or both. I've been thinking about so many options, but I finally narrowed it down to a … Continue reading Patreon – a fresh start / Vella – a new beginning
