The colder temperatures up North have crept in over the past few weeks and my body feels it every year. Weather changes equal the yuck. I curled up in my blankets but not to enjoy the start of the Holiday season. It’s because my body goes into denial every time we move into a newContinue reading “Winter Writing Blues”

Day #3 of NaNoWriMo
All things need time. I have to say the break from my novel might have been a good thing. I left the piece feeling like I was paddling around in a circle. That circle was called the introduction. I wrote, and rewrote. Nothing sat right. Everything I ended the intro, I moved onto the nextContinue reading “Day #3 of NaNoWriMo”
November NaNoWriMo!
Last night, meant a special Halloween Dinner after making my husband run around to several different stores. There’s nothing like a kettle full of cheap beer steaming Atlantic crab. Good thing they didn’t know I purchased after suffering sticker shock of another box mislabeled sitting next to them. I wanted a romantic dinner but notContinue reading “November NaNoWriMo!”

Monday is Day #11 Sour
My desk is piled high with LED lights to fix a broken light box, pens, and clay and I turned my head away as I got ready for the week this morning. The sluggish feeling of the morning isn’t very motivating, and I feel like it’s another Sour Monday. A new start looks sweet butContinue reading “Monday is Day #11 Sour”
Friday is Day #8 – Watch
Last night meant late hours because my art muse decided to stay awake and create a miniature cauldron of green, glittery goo. I was supposed to be working on my next day of InkTober but my hands itched to make something in 3D. No matter the medium, at least these chilly months inspire creation. SubtitlesContinue reading “Friday is Day #8 – Watch”

The last day of September is here and I have piles of papers, clay, and glitter all over my desk. My two muses have been busy at the beginning of the school year.

One At a Time!
I don’t know about you but I was dragging at the beginning of the week and my mind didn’t want to focus on getting work done. All of the excitement over the weekend drained me and my attempt to catch up on my rest in one day wasn’t enough. I went for a walk inContinue reading “One At a Time!”
