The new year is here and this time my muses are busy. This year includes the goal of finishing 1 book before the end of the year, so that I can publish a new novel. I have the bones of 2 books written down. One was inspired by my trip to Japan, and the otherContinue reading “Late Night Edits”

Writing in the New Year
The year is coming to an end and I finally have the breather I’ve been waiting on. In the quiet aftermath of the holidays, I’m taking up the pages again. Ringing in the new year will be filled with turning pages, typing, writing research, and audio books. I would rather have words spilling out ofContinue reading “Writing in the New Year”
Tokyo Diaries: Return of a Lover
Strolling through the pathway in a new city I cherished the quiet. How can this full breath of autumn leaves, dirt, and scents of new flowers exist in a city of this size? My sense of time is altered as I pass friends, families, and school aged youth sitting on the grass to enjoy thisContinue reading “Tokyo Diaries: Return of a Lover”
A Fall Feast
The autumn leaves are falling up north and I’ve been a ghost to my own pages. Preptober is here and I’m not going for a month long frenzy this year. I guess I’m still trying to find the right words to lay out in black and white. Instead of typing away into the night, I’veContinue reading “A Fall Feast”
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. A little bit of magic, love, loss, and characters that stand on the pages. What book lover wouldn’t want to become the custodian of a magical bookshop that needsContinue reading “The Next Read…”
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. Two big shows are looming in the middle of the month and my fingers have been reluctant to get back into work mode. Being up here in Minnesota, I could always blameContinue reading “Note Taking Week”
Ghost Towns
Friday is here again and I’ve been enjoying my change of career to focus on the creative part of my brain. My body is tired today because our show circuit has begun. It’s a satisfied tired because my energy went into creating new art pieces instead of managing a group of adults. My background noiseContinue reading “Ghost Towns”
Feeding Your Dreams
I know I’ve been quiet on my blog but I’ve been busy. At the start of February I took a big leap of faith and quit my 9 to 5. Some of you know this because you read my earlier blog but I didn’t go into depth about my plans for this first month. So,Continue reading “Feeding Your Dreams”
Living More Than Once
The weekend is here and I’m having trouble focusing today. I don’t really feel like doing anything but my blog and new YouTube channel for my other business is calling my name. Most of all, I’m not feeling very inspired. What do I do when I’m not feeling the itch of my pen? I relyContinue reading “Living More Than Once”
Hidden Corners
Over the last few weeks I’ve travelled the world through YouTube and I’m still on the hunt for the perfect corner tucked away in the city of millions. I would like one quiet spot with a table, drinks at the counter, yummy pastries, and a decibel level that’s barely a whisper. People come and goContinue reading “Hidden Corners”
