It has definitely been a long day. I got up at 5:00 a.m so that I could drive for training in Boise. Trained, then I went to dinner with my son. That was fun -- the dinner, although we did share a lot of laughs during the training. Dinner was also very good. I now … Continue reading Riding Thunder
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
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 spent last week thinking that I really needed to write a newsletter for my email list. I woke this morning with the intention to do just that. Then I started actively avoiding it. I just don’t know how to re-engage and start to be consistent. Let’s face it, the only reason I get my … Continue reading Squeaking by
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 feel like I’m at a strange point in Arlyn‘s story. I’m just beyond that one-third point and I’m trying write through it. I feel like I’m missing something. I want something awesome, something to add an additional level to the story where readers who has gone through the Sacred Knight series will just be … Continue reading When a story can go any direction
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
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
The yellow flower opened, turned its head toward the sun. Breeze rushing along the sidewalk stirred its fragrance from its pedals. A crack. The flower had found a small chink in the sidewalk and pushed up through it with determined strength. It didn't matter that a thin layer of snow still covered the grass only … Continue reading A Flower’s Opportunity
