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
I did about half an hour of audio work this morning. Woo hoo. That's how a day is supposed to start. I got some drawing done. I got some writing done. I even tried to get in a nap, but every time I started to fall asleep, Temmy woke me up. She'd been sleeping so … Continue reading Of cats and plans
Feeling better today and not dragging so much. I've been trying to get caught up on things tonight, chores mostly which have been lingering this last few days, so that tomorrow I can do a true reset and go flowing into the weekend. I'm looking forward to getting back to audio tomorrow. I took a … Continue reading Reset life, reset creativity
So much for resetting today. I'm dragging pretty badly. I did get all my words in yesterday, but that meant I had to stay up longer. And it seemed like I kept coming up short. There is nothing worse than knowing you need 50 more words and being so tired that words are just hard. … Continue reading Dragging
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
A day ago or so, I thought I'd finished the 7th part of the Fenrir's Tales story that I've been working on (for far too long). It's the 27th one I've written. It wasn't, by any stretch, the end of this series of dog park stories I was doing. I wasn't sure that I really … Continue reading And there’s an eighth
So last year, when I was in that crazy phase of thinking that a daily page count might inspire me and no longer being so concerned with daily word counts, I set my daily word goal to 1. Yep, one word a day. That way, even if I didn't have time in my day, I … Continue reading Words rising
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
