The middle of the week is here and I started to laugh when I saw the prompt for Day # 6. The word spirit didn’t bring to mind anything spooky, instead it conjured up the image of a flask of hard liquor. Yes, it’s been that kind of day and I’m not a drinker. IContinue reading “Day #6 of InkTober – Word Prompt Is Spirit”

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!”
Hallmark Season
This weekend in Minnesota is one of the last few at cabins on the lake for many people before they pull in their docks and store their boats. Those who love finishing make their last few casts for the season during their long weekend. Then, the routine of getting everyone to school and work onContinue reading “Hallmark Season”
Summary Content
Tuesday is here but I’m still thinking about the weekend. Have you ever had to hunt down zebra or elephant cards with phrases on them? Well, that’s what I did while I was in The Art Shoppe on Sunday. I started to look at the variety of cards from different artists and some of themContinue reading “Summary Content”
Writing Up A Storm
Temperatures are back up into the 90s as we move into the last month of the summer in Minnesota. When the wind blows it’s like sucking up hot cotton into your mouth. You heave it back out and do a little gasp for relief. Stops for a cool drink, ice cream, and anything cold becomeContinue reading “Writing Up A Storm”
End of Month Update
We are back to city life at the beginning of a new week and we are at the last week of the month. I’m thinking about our Minnesota State Fair this year and because we didn’t have it last year, I’m willing to brave the crowds to attend again in August. It’s hard to believeContinue reading “End of Month Update”
Summer Writing Day #2
Gray stood on the end of the dock, swaddled in her grandmother’s quilt. Her eyes closed under her wild morning hair and her lips spread into a smile. Through her eyelids she saw the orange glow of the sun rising on the other side of the lake. Midst was rising off the calm waters. SheContinue reading “Summer Writing Day #2”

Living in Minnesota there’s a line on the highways as the weekend nears that lead to the many lakes throughout the State. More campers and tents are visible as we try to reconnect with nature and escape the noise of the city. Trails are filled with hikers, bikers, and explorers looking for exercise and thoseContinue reading “Summer Writing”
It’s All About Love
The weekend is still spilling over into this week. Yesterday, I shared some of my weekend experience with everyone while I attended a family wedding. Let’s keep thoughts of love rolling for all those romance writers out there, or those who need work on those chapters. Writing romance doesn’t have to be all about steamingContinue reading “It’s All About Love”
Monday Memories
Saturday was filled with wedding vows, muted pink bridesmaid dresses, and a church full of family and friends. The niece I used to babysit was getting married to her sweetheart. All the children who used to run around and throw tantrums were all graduated. I hugged the relatives that I missed last year because ofContinue reading “Monday Memories”
Inventing Words
Friday is here and it’s time to stretch our imagination. I’m borrowing from a top 10 writing prompt list from 2018. When the words we know fail us, it’s time to invent a new one. Some call these ghost words, and somewhere editors with with dictionary groups decide whether or not they will go intoContinue reading “Inventing Words”
Finding Rhythm
The week is coming to a close and I’m finding a hard time getting back into my rhythm after a show. I know this feeling well and the good thing is I know it’s coming after a big event. Practicing what I preach I’m using my own exercises to write every day and finish oneContinue reading “Finding Rhythm”
