This week I’m doing a bit of moonlighting by writing my posts in the evening because of all the things occurring during the day. Those who follow me, know that sometimes I also experiment with the time of day that I write. Playing around with time, place, and location may help your writing get unstuck.Continue reading “Time for a Change”

Sweet Monday
The month of May is here and starting off busy in my studio. I have 2 more large art events coming up in the next few weeks and my home is stacked with boxes of supplies and pieces wrapped in layers of bubble wrap. I knew the crazy pace I wanted to set this yearContinue reading “Sweet Monday”
Vacation Days
This week I decided to rest some more after working hard after a successful weekend at Geek Craft Expo. There were thousands of visitors that came to see all of the many talented creators and my husband and I were busy handling the rush. He and I had the good, tired feel at the endContinue reading “Vacation Days”
Showtime!
The late nights this week have me droppy-eyed. The sacrifice of sleep for my art and my writing may mean that a few days off are in order. Yesterday I was too busy creating more miniatures until 2:00 in the morning and I missed my usual post time. So, if you take a look atContinue reading “Showtime!”
Homework
“Writing is a process of questions.” Glen Gers The middle of the week is here and I’m wondering how everyone is doing with their writing? As we get busy with our lives, sitting down in our seat for a few minutes can feel like a chore. When that happens, I always go back to theContinue reading “Homework”
Story Telling Methods
This week I’m still working on my rooftop exercise from last week. I extended my short scene to let the story unfold for another day. The piece that I created last week can stand alone but what do I need if I continue? The advantage of writing a longer story is the ability to revealContinue reading “Story Telling Methods”
Understanding Why
This weekend there was no going to the rooftops to find pigeons or to escape the noise because I was busy dogging heavy raindrops. The heavy gloom outside made me a little crabby until I had my breakfast a few sips of my husband’s over-sugared coffee. There was too much on my mind and notContinue reading “Understanding Why”
Finding Your Hidden Place
My rooftop story took flight this week and might make it into one of my novels. The character names might change but I really like what I started. There’s something both romantic and different about meetings that take place above a big city. To me, hidden places are hard to find in all the hustleContinue reading “Finding Your Hidden Place”
Prompt Sharing
Her back was turned but she knew he was there in the doorway as she stared over the roofs of the city. Her chicken salad sat perched on the edge, half was waiting for his arrival. She knew the number of soft taps before he reached her side. His entire scent would surround me asContinue reading “Prompt Sharing”
Skip Day
Anyone following my blog knows that I’m busy this month with art and craft shows. This week I rested after 2 events in a row. I was able to blog but I had some skip days this week and I’m not feeling guilty about it. I ended the week back on track with another postContinue reading “Skip Day”
Getting Real
Yesterday I woke up feeling like I had flown on the red eye flight twice in one night. I opened one eye in the morning expecting monster sized red veins but surprisingly I looked normal. My body leaned closer to the mirror in disbelief. How did I look normal with all the tossing and turningContinue reading “Getting Real”
Monday Blues
This weekend I tried to focus and managed to get a few more pieces complete but my energy level is still below zero. While the temperature rises I’m struggling with a looming deadline and I’m learning to live with my own inner rebellion. What do I mean? Every time I set a high goal, IContinue reading “Monday Blues”
