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 broke out the airbrush today. Yes, I feel like I spent more time cleaning up than actually using it, but I got some results I’m very happy with. I also stocked up on canvases today. Or I thought I had. (Grin) The picture at the top of the blog was half of a full … Continue reading Painting and more
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 forgot to set my alarms last night beyond setting my sleep app, so then I ended up over sleeping. Yeah, that’s what I get for going to bed late! While I was super tired! So I’ve been dragging today since I got too much sleep. It has been snowing hard when I went to … Continue reading Snow here and gone again
I’m up to chapter 12 for Arlyn’s story. I feel myself slowing down a bit, but I know I’m hitting the one-third portion of the novel. It’s said that this is a point when many writers start to feel pressure on the story. Since I’m trying to pay attention to the stages of writing a … Continue reading One-third of the way
I’m now into the last chapter of my drummer book. The last few nights have been 400 words at a time, but I’m almost there. It just proves that repeated baby steps can really move one along. It’s not fast, but it’s getting down the road. Strangely enough, my character is currently on the road. … Continue reading Last chapter
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
I finished watching Castle today. For a series that I so enjoyed, I am highly disappointed by the ending. Yes, I realized it was probably cancelled suddenly. I haven’t researched it to know; not sure I really care to know either. Still, bad. That just tops off a moody day for me. I really don’t … Continue reading In practice
I returned to my first story today. I figure I have about 6,000 words left to finish up this story. I really want to keep it on track to finish it this week. That means I can’t let myself get distracted by Arlyn’s story, no matter how much I want to go work on it. … Continue reading Sun drenched weeds
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
