Today, I felt like I was going a school field trip as I jumped in the car. A phone call the other day let me know that a book I was waiting for by Kim Jiyun, had finally arrived. During the holidays I was craving a good story, a neighborhood story that gives inspiration andContinue reading “The Book Store”

Summer Book Review
This afternoon I stepped outside to pick up my husband at work and I felt like I swallowed the ocean. My eyes moved back and forth across the garage and I blinked. Was I still in Minnesota? Maybe I was transported to Hawaii or some tropical island. The blacktop grounded me back to home. SinceContinue reading “Summer Book Review”
The Next Read…
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.

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”
Note Taking Week
A new month has begun and there were no April Fools in the office because I’m the only one here in my studio.

Homework Day Again
Class is in session again today because I just watched another part of the Master Class with David Sedaris. He had another point that I would like to share.

Adulting Writers
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”
After You Publish
What are the next steps once you publish your book? Besides telling everyone you know that you’re now a published author, get your marketing campaign in order. Those who publish on Amazon or other digital platforms will want to take advantage of their marketing ads. Then, blast your social media with posts and ways forContinue reading “After You Publish”
Imaginary Pets
Earlier this week I wrote about imaginary dragons, and I had another idea. If you had an imaginary pet or friend walking beside you, what would it be? I have to ask because I know the answers from writers would be very different from other groups. You have to wonder what people in other professionsContinue reading “Imaginary Pets”
Sleepless In Minnesota
The middle of the week is here and I’m thinking about my sleepless in Minnesota week. Looking back, I guess I can’t complain because my sleepless hours let me get a lot of work done. My up in the middle of the night with the moon as my company helped me finish some art pieces.Continue reading “Sleepless In Minnesota”
Crazy Pen
Did I hear the zoom ring again on my phone? Oh, yes I did. Our triumph as authors with the push of the publishing button, faded the next day. I received a panicked text from one of my fellow authors, and she made me smile. She’s worried about putting her first book, and everything hasContinue reading “Crazy Pen”
