My ears must have been starved because I’m on a binge of words. The Lost Bookshop, by Evie Woods is going into my best reads shelf. A little bit of magic, love, loss, and characters that stand on the pages. What book lover wouldn’t want to become the custodian of a magical bookshop that needsContinue reading “The Next Read…”

Getting Lost
These past few weeks I’ve found myself caught up in the frenzy of creating and getting lost. I’ve been lost in my imagination as I let my hands form new creations in miniature, and I’ve been lost in words. Ever since I wandered deep into the winding alleys of art, I felt the tether toContinue reading “Getting Lost”
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”
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”
Day 4 of One Paragraph
Good thing I typed up some extra paragraphs earlier this week because I received a call to help out with a project at the art shop. The shop’s move from one side of the building to another meant better traffic and business but rebuilding shelving units and trying to figure out what to do withContinue reading “Day 4 of One Paragraph”
Day Three of One Paragraph
Last night I started my prompt of writing one paragraph a day by asking questions about one of my never ending novels. I’ve been on an eternal drift of introductions and I experimented with perspectives. Which voice called to me more? Which introduction did I go back to the most? Of course, my wonder brainContinue reading “Day Three of One Paragraph”
