Standing on the edge of the rocks, their meeting place, she couldn’t tell the stars in the night sky from the earth. Both were mirrors of each other. The light from the moon flickered like a faulty nightlight. Her warm breath pushed out one small cloud when it hit the cold fall night. The hairsContinue reading “Write A Scene Today”

Publishing and Progress Update
The mighty pen returns for the rest of the summer after my first book signing event of the year but the next few months will give my writing tools a different kind of exercise. I have my own publishing hat back on for my next journal, I’m helping three other authors publish their books. TwoContinue reading “Publishing and Progress Update”
The Pen and Paintbrush
This weekend’s show was a mix of new faces, family, and fellow creatives. I have to begin with a “Thank you!” To all those who stopped by the The Art Shoppe in Midtown Global Market this weekend! The waves of people visiting all happened so quickly. There was a flurry of showing new pieces andContinue reading “The Pen and Paintbrush”
Repeat Day!
I don’t know how well you did yesterday with your rhyming but my skills out loud need help. Talk about a brain freeze. This means that it’s time to do a repeat of yesterday’s exercise but in writing. I may need to do this on the weekend if this exercise doesn’t work right away. Today,Continue reading “Repeat Day!”
Rhyming
One of my former co-workers has a fellow author for a wife, and he’s helped her publish her series on Amazon. She does quite well online and there is something that I admire about her children’s books – they rhyme. Rhyming books that don’t end up like a bad television episode amaze me. Limericks andContinue reading “Rhyming”
Night Owls!
The sun is going down behind the clouds this evening and much needed drizzle for our brown grass. Our grass looks like it moved out West this year. I can hear the stories churning, and I wonder how many will have droughts or weather related content inside. My post today is in the evening becauseContinue reading “Night Owls!”
Celebrating Independence
I hope everyone enjoyed their Independence yesterday! I have to say that I’m thankful to live in a place where I can express myself through art and writing freely. I’m grateful to have a roof over my head, and to never lack for food. Being a foodie, maybe I indulge a little much. There’s aContinue reading “Celebrating Independence”
Wielding Your Craft
The count day to my Featured Artist spot is only 3 days away and I finished a few more deadlines this weekend. I have to say that I feel comfort in returning to my keyboard to write because the challenges I set for myself for creating new pieces drained all my energy. Returning to somethingContinue reading “Wielding Your Craft”
Art and Writing
Friday is finally here and the frenzy of photo shooting sculptures begins. Participating in shows and events of all kinds are always more work than expected. Prepping of inventory lists, pricing, sales, tools, with business cards and bios for those who stop by to admire your work all have to make their own appearance. ArtistsContinue reading “Art and Writing”
Finding Your Prompt
When you’re having writer’s block or under a deadline, do you have encouraging phrases to help get yourself started? I had to laugh at myself before I sat down to write because one of my phrases is, “Let it fly.” I’ve heard this from other speakers, or similar wording by other entrepreneurs in their bookContinue reading “Finding Your Prompt”
Publishing Is About Process
My hands just went up into the air right before I started today’s blog. I let out a little congratulations because the last week of my inspirational journal for creatives is completed! Just like my 30 Days of Writing Prompt Journal, this is about action in motion to get inspired and achieve goals. Sometimes, weContinue reading “Publishing Is About Process”
Back to School for Creatives!
Sitting in rush hour as the sun started to drop into the West, I felt tired after a long day of getting everything on my list done. The strangest part is that my air conditioning, like clockwork gave me the sniffles. I dusted and cleaned the vents, checked the filter and I still end upContinue reading “Back to School for Creatives!”
