The past few weeks I’ve been on a journey to find inspiration again for my writing. My mind has meandered down different avenues to keep my fingers active and posting meaningful content. The fall season left me feeling like a change was necessary to break up the routine. As I brainstormed, I thought about findingContinue reading “Local Inspiration”

Labor Day
My day of rest turned into a working day. Instead of grilling hot dogs outside in the near 100 degree weather, I was making miniature hot dog earrings from clay in the comfort of my air conditioning. The end of our Minnesota State Fair went out with one of the hottest days of the year.Continue reading “Labor Day”
Little Bit of Literary Life
Just when I thought all things literary went dead on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis I walked into a new independent bookstore. Strive Books made a quiet opening and may be in the beginning stages of reviving literacy downtown but it’s a start. When Barnes and Noble moved out with many struggling businesses in theContinue reading “Little Bit of Literary Life”
Posting Problems
Most of August has gone by and I thought everything was on track. Then, I has one of those stomach plummets because I realized that some of my scheduled posts went into oblivion. So much for planning ahead. Some of my future is in a black hole not yet discovered the the James Webb telescope.Continue reading “Posting Problems”
Road Trip
This weekend it’s time for another road trip with my husband as we pack up our vehicle for our last summer arts and crafts event. We decided to spurge on a hotel for one night because of the long drive back home. This time I let him book our stay because he doesn’t trust meContinue reading “Road Trip”
Lazy Sundays
The buzz of people seeking a good meal is all around me as they enjoy the freedom of Sunday. Just one more day to relax, shop, and not cook at home. Spending time enjoying what you like is my idea of a lazy Sunday. As an artist and writer, I’m spending today volunteering at TheContinue reading “Lazy Sundays”
End of Summer
My notebook is covered in dust from going to different outdoor events. This summer is all about art and craft festivals and my 3 week run is finally over. I went out to celebrate at my favorite pastry place before the fall season begins. Being around other creative people doing the same thing has beenContinue reading “End of Summer”
Writing Bandwagon
Anyone hear that sound? It’s me and the crickets are getting too loud. Before I fall off the writing bandwagon I thought I would make a post. The summer sizzle can take a lot out of someone who thinks napping is a hobby.The fact that most of the days of the week are spent creatingContinue reading “Writing Bandwagon”
Wide Awake
The clock struck 2:00 am and my eyes opened wide. I knew the familiar feeling. I went to bed too early and my body doesn‘t like to stay asleep. Instead of tossing and turning, or trying to wake my husband up I decided to let him sleep and go do something with my time. WhatContinue reading “Wide Awake”
Summer Melt
These past few days felt like I was going slide onto the sidewalk into a pool of sweat in Minnesota. The 90 degree weather made it hard to breathe with the poor air quality and I hid inside. Too bad the melting didn’t stop. For the past few days I’ve also been creating some newContinue reading “Summer Melt”
Happy Friday
The end of the week is here and my writing muse is calling. That inner voice reminded me to get something down on paper and to stay consistent even if I’m on summer mode. My fingers can feel when I start to get off track and that came from practicing and writing every day forContinue reading “Happy Friday”
Hazy Days
I was driving around yesterday to get some errands done and I felt like I was living in Los Angeles. The drift of smoke from Canada came down our way and I finally know what it’s like to live with big city smog. The lighter haze earlier in the week did have me wondering ifContinue reading “Hazy Days”
