My intentions at the start of this week were to be as productive with my time, as every week is but my writer mind get distracted by other people’s stories. Having enough time to read new authors and write, mixed in with other interests makes daily choices difficult. At the start of each day IContinue reading “Adulting Writers”

Animal Behavior
We touched on some fantasy ideas yesterday but what if our hero isn’t all human, or human at all? Those who writer about shifters and beasts that don’t exist understand the question. Themes like human and animals have existed in all native cultures. There was no separation between man, animal, and nature. The earth andContinue reading “Animal Behavior”
Miniature Fantasy
My world is still miniature this week as I spend time surrounded by my art supplies and needle tools. Trying to make things the size of a fingertip or smaller take more time that big sculptures. All this creating got me thinking about literary worlds. This week, Alice must have taken a drink of theContinue reading “Miniature Fantasy”
Marching Out
I’m ready to march out of this month and into a warmer month. Our yo-yo weather that happens when season begin to change really do give us cabin fever in Minnesota. When we think it’s going to warm up, it snows the next day. Those who don’t live here will think they’ve moved somewhere extremeContinue reading “Marching Out”
Challenges
At the start of this week, I set a goal to push myself and use my own prompts to boost creativity. I decided to create some new miniature sculpture pieces and I stopped using the excuse that I was too tire or there wasn’t enough time. I changed one habit, my daily writing, over theContinue reading “Challenges”
Dual Rowing
This week I’m rowing between two countries and I just rowed my writing boat back to France. My ears are surrounded by a new television series about a top real estate family in Paris. L’Agence has me hooked. I don’t know if seeing all the luxurious places for sale are a good thing because myContinue reading “Dual Rowing”
Torn
Remember, that writing prompt that I shared about a Fae Warrior world? Well, I feel torn between two worlds. My head is going back and forth between the Fae and the granddaughter in Paris. I feel like I’m in a literary tennis match. I don’t know which muse will win. One thing I’ve learned overContinue reading “Torn”
Senior Days
At the end of last week, I took some time off for moments of self care and I ended up having a senior style weekend. My body clock decided to wake up in the early morning hours before the city streets of Minnesota were awake. It was so early, I didn’t even hear the garbageContinue reading “Senior Days”
Cozy Places
My days that I took off for self-care and more naps returned me to an place that I found with my husband more than 5 years ago. Had it been that long? I love neighborhood places and one that has a bakery is at the top of my list. Tucked away in a corner ofContinue reading “Cozy Places”
Fae Warrior Writing
I went to bed with thoughts of Fae warriors and kingdoms. I stood on the dock with my character and looked across the narrow lake wonder if the flickering lights were my prince. My eyes went to the row boat with Cara. The other side wouldn’t take that long to reach. But I, like CaraContinue reading “Fae Warrior Writing”
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Today, the Irish music will play and my crock pot will fill our home with the smell of salty meat and soft, yellow cabbage, and carrots. I might have to pick up a loaf of soda bread if there’s no time to make one but there will be more butter. I might not dye everythingContinue reading “Happy St. Patrick’s Day”
Irish Cooking Day
Inflation or not, I had to check the fridge again for my corned beef and cabbage. My mom’s only secret ingredient is adding lots of butter during holidays. I call it pats of love. That salty meat is getting lots of love this week and so is that cabbage. I’m one who thinks any kindContinue reading “Irish Cooking Day”
