A Writer’s Process

The beginning of the novel process looks like a big ball of red yarn that was played with by a big cat when I attempt to create an outline. Like many writers, I ask the reason for the journey of my hero? How is my hero going to get there and what obstacles will standContinue reading “A Writer’s Process”

Pumpkin Time

I almost played hooky today and took my fingers off the keyboard today but there’s nothing wrong with a Cinderella post. The clock hasn’t struck midnight and maybe there’s a little magic left before my horses turn back into mice. My favorite is still the fat mouse. While I wait for my ride to turnContinue reading “Pumpkin Time”

More Games

It’s late into the night and I’m sitting in front of my keyboard distracted by another season of Game of Thrones. The writers managed to keep me involved enough to to want to know who’s going to survive this fight for power. I want to know if family members wills survive on their own andContinue reading “More Games”

Last of Summer

The last month of summer rolled in with sun and activities all weekend. My weekend started with a few extra hours of sleep in the morning until my husband bounded in to wake me up in time for an outside picnic. Thanks to some smart friends they choose a well shaded area on a hillContinue reading “Last of Summer”

All Seasons

I’m up here in the extremes this week. Minnesota went from upper 90s to low 70s and I had to turn off my air yesterday. The sudden cool off felt like I stepped into fall a month too early and I had goose bumps walking around downtown. How can we go from melted pancakes onContinue reading “All Seasons”

Battles and Thrones

I finally entered into the world of battles and thrones seasons later to watch, Game of Thrones, from season one until the current season. Yes, I’m probably one of the few who didn’t watch all of the seasons already but I don’t like watching things out of order and I was working a 2nd jobContinue reading “Battles and Thrones”

Frankenstein Stories

After my share the other day and longer post, I’m thinking about the direction I need to go for my novels. I know I can write thousands of pages but there’s been several times that I’ve had a never ending story that just felt flat. Then, the inevitable happens and I end up pitching myContinue reading “Frankenstein Stories”

Writing Prompt Share

The evening sun was setting and soft music played in the background as Fran immersed herself into the world of a new book. Tucked away in the small nook of her favorite bookstore, she never noticed the last motion sensor light going off and the front doors locking. She was too busy fighting new beastlyContinue reading “Writing Prompt Share”

A World of Strangers

The days after events should be declared a holiday for all creators. Being out there in a sea of strangers is one way to test what you create, build up your courage even if you don’t have any sales, and most of all give you a goal to achieve. What happens after an event looksContinue reading “A World of Strangers”

Friday Scramble

Friday is here and the great scramble is on this evening to try to get everything ready for our weekend flea market. I created a few more miniature sculptures and the only worry is being able to beat the heat for the next few days. I might even go in search of portable fans toContinue reading “Friday Scramble”

Going 3 Dimensional

My evening didn’t go quite as planned because I got a call from a business partner that needed some quick changes to their website. I’m all for helping someone else build up their business so I changed priorities so that they could add new features to their website. This could impact a potential speaking jobContinue reading “Going 3 Dimensional”
