So, I'm at writing book 4 in the Sacred Knight series and in The Loki Adventures series. How's that going? Here's a video update:

Art in the Park
I got a call a little over a week ago and was asked to be the Featured Artist for Art in the Park in Twin Falls coming up this weekend on July 14th and 15th. Needless to say, I'm still waiting to wake from the dream and find someone has taken my cookie away. LOL! … Continue reading Art in the Park
Where your decision comes in
A lot of people want to be creative, to write a book, to learn to paint, to do pottery. Want. That single word is a chasm that must be crossed. It implies lack, that something is missing. Saying, "I want a new car" means that you don't have it in your life. Much different from … Continue reading Where your decision comes in
Nothing gets left undone
Last week I wrote about large projects. I wanted to write about keeping the faith when working on these large projects. Instead, it turned into more of a "how-to." I still wanted to mention "keeping the faith" for your large projects. I read not to long ago that the universe does nothing while leaving nothing … Continue reading Nothing gets left undone
Big projects
Large projects can be hard to handle. Whether it's just something that's going to take awhile or the scope of it is just huge, it's easy to stop in the middle and wonder which way is up. Don't let the fear, that icy cold stop that pours from your heart right down to your feet, … Continue reading Big projects
How you create
I love to listen to how other artists create. As a young girl, I remember listening to and reading about how writers would put their butts in the chair and write. I found it fascinating how they would answer the question of "where do you get your ideas?" Even more fascinating was when I realized … Continue reading How you create
When you face the reflection
Last time I posed the question of what your art was saying about you -- perhaps even something you didn't realize you were saying. There is a flip-side to that. What happens to your art when you do realize it says something about you, especially if you weren't expecting it. I admit that ever since … Continue reading When you face the reflection
Reflection of you in your art
What does your art say about you? If you are being authentic and putting all of yourself into your art (not just producing for some commercial reason), then you are putting bits of you into your art that you may or may not be aware of. Has anyone ever pointed something out to you that … Continue reading Reflection of you in your art
Capturing ideas when they come
I wanted to share with you an idea that I got when I was listening to the Making Comics podcast. I've linked to the actual podcast in the link. One of the guests on the podcast said that he got his best ideas in the shower so he uses a piece of plexi-glass and a … Continue reading Capturing ideas when they come
Putting forth the work
I've been working with Manga Studios (or I was before I got taken down with this awful cold that's been going around). I've said in prior posts that a person can make great strides in accomplishing whatever they want to do even if they only work on it in 15 minutes a day. Well, as … Continue reading Putting forth the work
