My Fae Prince

My calming music played in the background with a fairy like house of glass in the background and I thought about my story of the gatekeeper’s daughter and the Fae Prince. Since my goal is to get one more page done, I focused on one scene at the beginning. Every story needs a meeting placeContinue reading “My Fae Prince”

Mushroom Pirates and Candy

This weekend I met pirates who make mushroom candles and had my first taste of freeze-dried candy. The faces on the multicolored little fungi were too cute and I had to get one. The candy was a puff of cotton and then a burst of sweet. Then, a crocheted Grogu got me. The problem withContinue reading “Mushroom Pirates and Candy”

Day 4 of Visual Story Telling

The last day of our visual story telling is here the day before my next event with my miniatures. I’m excited because my eyes will be filled with the creations of other artists and crafters. Being able to show and sell my handmade minis is also a benefit. While I’m at my event this weekend,Continue reading “Day 4 of Visual Story Telling”

Day 3 of Visual Story Telling

Last night I sat in front of the TV feeling like I just participated in the great brain drain. My energy was sapped and I started thinking about a way to bring in more color into my thoughts. Experts say that we should digest more colorful fruits and vegetables into our diet, well how aboutContinue reading “Day 3 of Visual Story Telling”

Day 2 of Visual Story Telling

Welcome to the beginning of a new month and a new kind of prompt from yesterday. We’re doing all visuals for the rest of the week to help capture the imagery stuck in your head but not seen by your audience in your story. This week is a way of thinking out loud or onContinue reading “Day 2 of Visual Story Telling”

Thinking In Color

I’m back into my creator videos and those who share their sketching or writing journals. You may want to take note if you’re looking for more ways to create content. Taking ideas from those outside of your genre, or medium is another way to find new stories. I talked about change yesterday, and I wouldContinue reading “Thinking In Color”

Makeup Monday

This morning I wasn’t prepared for the change from snow to rain and I had an unexpected skating episode as I went out for my dental appointment. How many times does it take to put in a crown? Apparently, it takes 3 times and extra notes from my dentist to get it right at theContinue reading “Makeup Monday”

Quiet Friday

The roads went quiet yesterday morning and I spent it watching life feed road cameras. The roads were covered and the few cars I did see moving along I hoped were emergency workers or those who didn’t need to make a coffee run. Many places did close or had call-ins. Skeleton crews were running theContinue reading “Quiet Friday”

Snow Days!

I survived the smaller amount of snow that started falling Wednesday evening and overnight. My groceries are picked up for the next few days and I continue to peak outside. The snow started falling in my neighborhood around 2:00 pm again. Emergency plans are in place and we all keep waiting up here for theContinue reading “Snow Days!”

New Book Time!

This week I’m trying work through a recommended new book called, The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield. The reason I hit download in my Audible queue was because an entrepreneur that I follow, Abdi Dhaal, said that he read this book to help him get through that feeling of “resistance” that we all feelContinue reading “New Book Time!”

The Big One

After hearing and reading so many dystopian stories, I needed a break and wanted to think of a brighter future. I delved back into fantasy worlds and romance. Then, after recent seismic events around the world, I started to watch a video called “Deadly Pacific”. According to experts our universe is supposed to be aboutContinue reading “The Big One”

Getting Through Monday

Do you every just want to sit in the corner of a cafe writing all day without the worry of onlookers or too much noise in the background? My idea public place is somewhere with a few locals minding their own business and dedicated to their own conversations, not caring about the person tucked awayContinue reading “Getting Through Monday”
