My notebook is covered in dust from going to different outdoor events. This summer is all about art and craft festivals and my 3 week run is finally over. I went out to celebrate at my favorite pastry place before the fall season begins. Being around other creative people doing the same thing has beenContinue reading “End of Summer”

Writing Bandwagon
Anyone hear that sound? It’s me and the crickets are getting too loud. Before I fall off the writing bandwagon I thought I would make a post. The summer sizzle can take a lot out of someone who thinks napping is a hobby.The fact that most of the days of the week are spent creatingContinue reading “Writing Bandwagon”
Wide Awake
The clock struck 2:00 am and my eyes opened wide. I knew the familiar feeling. I went to bed too early and my body doesn‘t like to stay asleep. Instead of tossing and turning, or trying to wake my husband up I decided to let him sleep and go do something with my time. WhatContinue reading “Wide Awake”
Summer Melt
These past few days felt like I was going slide onto the sidewalk into a pool of sweat in Minnesota. The 90 degree weather made it hard to breathe with the poor air quality and I hid inside. Too bad the melting didn’t stop. For the past few days I’ve also been creating some newContinue reading “Summer Melt”
Happy Friday
The end of the week is here and my writing muse is calling. That inner voice reminded me to get something down on paper and to stay consistent even if I’m on summer mode. My fingers can feel when I start to get off track and that came from practicing and writing every day forContinue reading “Happy Friday”
Hazy Days
I was driving around yesterday to get some errands done and I felt like I was living in Los Angeles. The drift of smoke from Canada came down our way and I finally know what it’s like to live with big city smog. The lighter haze earlier in the week did have me wondering ifContinue reading “Hazy Days”
Minnesota Summer
The temperatures have been in the upper 80’s to the lower 90’s for the past week and I feel like I moved south for the summer. The winds might not smell like salt but a sheen of sweat still covers my skin if I’m outside moving around for more than 5 minutes. Hot and humidContinue reading “Minnesota Summer”
Back to the Pen
My fingers were itching because I missed some time at my keyboard last week. Part of me sent off a warning to keep up my regular schedule of writing. Having writer’s block in the past haunts me, and that might be a good thing because it helps me sit down in the chair to writeContinue reading “Back to the Pen”
Making the Switch
After spending the weekend with my parents out in the country, it’s been hard to get back into work mode again. Being able to hear the birds chirp without fire trucks going by, or watch a hungry raccoon trying to raid my parent’s bird feeder brought a sense of tranquility that I can’t get inContinue reading “Making the Switch”
Summer Mode
The beginning of my summer is kicking off with a visit to mom and dad for quiet time out in the northern country. Staying out in a place where the city lights are glaring behind curtains and fire trucks are racing down the street go quiet. The first night out of the city feels oddContinue reading “Summer Mode”
Work In Progress
A new week has begun and I’m on break from my show circuit for a few weeks. Having back to back shows was a new challenge for me, especially because I have a handmade business. Growing a business that relies on you to finish multiple novels or art pieces is a constant learning experience. BeingContinue reading “Work In Progress”
Making It Simple
Breaking away from my clay and cramped fingers, I sat down to get in an episode of my Japanese drama series. The lives of two friends go down different paths at the same school as they try to find their way away from their hometown. The way one girl held her smile over a simpleContinue reading “Making It Simple”
