The weekend is here and I hear the tires hitting the road for many Minnesotans as they begging their plans for a Holiday weekend. Some people that I’ve talked to are looking forward to an extra day of sleep after a busy week. In our state, you’ll see a mass exodus from downtown to ourContinue reading “Memorial Weekend”

Connecting Characters
Lesson Thursday continues through this month as I follow David Sedaris on MasterClass online. This week, I watched his lesson on connecting with readers. The same is said for first impressions because a reader may only pick up your book once, or only read the first few paragraphs. This feels cruel to us as writersContinue reading “Connecting Characters”
Wandering Minds
We started out the week by talking about getting lost this week. Let your minds wander as we walk forward into the next few days. One of the exercises that I’ve used and other writers have shared with me is the art of letting your mind unwind and writing down your thoughts. These aren’t completeContinue reading “Wandering Minds”
Getting Lost
The weekend was about experimenting and adding more pieces in my online shop (ThinkCutie.com). My Cricut got a workout as we tested and printed some new stickers. Bubbles and sticky back paper don’t mix week. The week was filled with mixed emotions because our new used car was coming this weekend. I’m excited for theContinue reading “Getting Lost”
Inspiration and Exploring
The months are flying by faster than I can type and I’m thinking about my year goals. The mid-year marker is almost here and I only have a few chapters typed out with random pieces of other chapters. Summer is definitely going to be my crunch time. I see myself traveling to different locations toContinue reading “Inspiration and Exploring”
School Day
MasterClass day is here again with David Sedaris. This part of his lesson, “Breaking Into A Story”, started out with the curse of needing to be perfect. He talked about how his partner, an amazing artist, goes to a museum only to come home and say that he can’t paint. I don’t know about youContinue reading “School Day”
Friday the 13th
Friday the 13th is here and I hope you haven’t switched bodies with anyone or been chased by anyone wearing a hockey mask. Today is a day of superstition and thoughts about what happens when you walk under a ladder. Different cultures have different days synonymous with bad luck. This is the one day whenContinue reading “Friday the 13th”
5 Minute Birthday
I’m in my seat for my 5 minutes a day and it’s my husband’s birthday (well yesterday). He decided to take a different day off but he’s been busy at his corporate job and building his own 3D printing job. Luckily, my muses are here to help him with a list of accessories to goContinue reading “5 Minute Birthday”
Writing Every Day
Just five minutes a day is all my mind is repeating this week because I didn’t follow the advice of other creators when it comes to store launches. A few people that I’ve followed said not to launch new items in your store after a big event, I should have listened because most of myContinue reading “Writing Every Day”
Relaunch Day Is Coming!
The end of April is here and I’m deep in preparations for my first outdoor event of the year. My signing pen is ready for my books that will be on the corner of my table and I’m doing my best to organize the tornado that happens in my studio before a show. While I’mContinue reading “Relaunch Day Is Coming!”
When Art Meets Literature
If you ever toured my workspace, you would find an abundant amount of art supplies, stacks of books, and an old vintage typewriter. My love of writing and art has followed me through school and into adulthood. Building up skills in both has helped me with titles, marketing, and graphics for posts. I’m also thinkingContinue reading “When Art Meets Literature”
Celebrating 502 Posts!
I had to blink twice when I looked at the number counter for in Evernote for my posts because I reached 502. I’ve blogged the equivalent of 38,000 words when all of my posts are combined. Basically, I’ve written the length of a novel and I should celebrate! Feeling like someone in a recovery groupContinue reading “Celebrating 502 Posts!”
