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
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
The stars felt distant tonight. The air is cold, but not as crispy clean as usual. Granted, that could be the gagging smell of someone's venting dryer. The scent always makes my throat close up and my eyes feel swollen. Whatever they (whoever they are in my neighborhood) use (whatever it is), they use too … Continue reading The height of clouds
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
I have to start today's post with a video that spoke to me today. It is from Chuck Black's YouTube about getting better at drawing and painting. Even thought it has been something I've been telling myself a lot lately, I like the way he frames it. I had to start it at the 3 … Continue reading Risks and reps
Siva's book is finished. Well, the first draft is. I still don't even have a title for it yet. And, of course, my creative voice insisted that I go back into the story and touch a few things at the end after I'd crossed that finish line and was making notes on the last two … Continue reading The book is over the finish line
My newest read might not be my cup of tea, meaning that I don't think it' something I'm going to finish. So, I finished Aerie, the 4th book in the Joust series by Mercedes Lackey. In my opinion, the book feels very forced and contrived. I didn't feel that it fit with the rest of … Continue reading Not my cup of tea
I spent the day writing. I finished several more pages in Siva's story and got very close to the scene I'd written earlier. As much as I like what I had envisioned for the scene, I may end up redrafting it rather than trying to stitch in the earlier one. My characters have changed so … Continue reading Letting go to get the energy back
I've been watching Lucifer and I'm now getting the end of season 2. I have to say that I really enjoy this show. I didn't at first. I wanted to, but I watched the first episode and I obviously wasn't ready for it. A bit after that, my dad asked me if I'd watched the … Continue reading My current daily distraction
My Kickstarter campaign for the Stonecharmer trilogy is 65% funded and we have 10 days to go. Come on, people. We can do this. If you don't know anything about Kickstarter, it's a crowdfunding site for creators to get their projects out by lots of people giving a little. I have personally backed several projects … Continue reading Meet some characters from Stonecharmer
