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
As stated last night, I wanted to do another painting with the same composition. So, today I started that, but I changed it up a bit. I figured if foreground was bugging me, let there be more of it. And maybe I kept it simple, but baby steps. So the picture at the top of … Continue reading Foreground training
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
I used to make French Toast on a regular basis when my boys were younger. Yesterday as I was making myself breakfast, I got a hankering for French Toast, but since I already had breakfast cooking, I wasn’t going to change then. I decided to make it today. And I failed. Miserably. Yeah, I did … Continue reading French Toast gone wrong
I spent every moment tonight writing. Still not quite done, and I’m kind of wondering if there’s actually more story. Maybe that’s why I’ve been dragging my feet on the ending. I’m waiting to see if the story tells me there’s more that I need to go back for. There’s been a couple paragraphs which … Continue reading No time tonight
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
Well, when I set my 2023 goals today (two months later than normal), they all seemed like a good idea. Now I’m not so certain. I’m hoping it’s just my critical, self doubt voice talking and telling me that I’m not good enough. Worse, i had just overcome some technology issues I’d been fighting and … Continue reading 2023 planning
This weekend did something (amazing, I hope) for me. Other than just being fun, I learned that I am more capable than I think I am. As I get older and feel myself losing the strength and flexibility I once knew, and I see things not working out as I’d once hoped, I find self-doubt … Continue reading Self-doubt takes a loss
Those of you who have been following me for a while know that I’ve been trying to figure out how to schedule my time to do all that I want to do. I’m still at that chore. I’ve watched a few good videos today and some very bad ones. It’s amazing what all is out … Continue reading 26 tasks
Painting today. Remember those crystals I'd wanted to work on? Well, I continued to experiment with that. This is a painting I'd started awhile back and I knew it would have crystals in it, but I was brave enough to finish it today. Here it is: Crystal painting6″x4″ acrylic on canvas panel©2022 Dawn Blair Now, … Continue reading Crystals again
