All things need time. I have to say the break from my novel might have been a good thing. I left the piece feeling like I was paddling around in a circle. That circle was called the introduction. I wrote, and rewrote. Nothing sat right. Everything I ended the intro, I moved onto the nextContinue reading “Day #3 of NaNoWriMo”

Return of the Novel!
Does pulling a Cinderella count before Midnight? Yes, I had a few hours to go before the clock struck midnight and I finally made it to my keyboard. The important thing is not the full Monday crash that happened around dinner time with the sniffles. Maybe it was the sight of our first flurries. ThisContinue reading “Return of the Novel!”
Happy Halloween!
All things spooky, all day is finally here! Happy Halloween! This is also the last day of Ink and Preptober. The last word prompt of the month might make today interesting. Our word is Risk. Imagine all the kinds of things you could do with words, especially if you use method acting. However, as IContinue reading “Happy Halloween!”
Things That Go Splat!
The week of Halloween is here! I have my fake flickering orange and black candelabras going next to my creepy black tree and haunted house. My mind is on vampire and werewolf stories. My mini brains in a jar and Frankenstein minions are on the shelf waiting for homes. Did you get in your partiesContinue reading “Things That Go Splat!”
Day #18 Word Smash!
We are off to another start after a busy weekend of creating. This weekend you heard the constant buzz of 3D printing in the background. My husband decided to invest some of our money in a new hobby and I have him busy with a list of miniature furniture pieces that I want to useContinue reading “Day #18 Word Smash!”
The Weekend
Today’s word goes along with the beginning if the weekend. In my mind, I picture everyone rushing to and from work with extra speed today because Friday is finally here. I’m even a little faster to get into the things I’ve been waiting to do all week. Maybe other people need a helmet when IContinue reading “The Weekend”
The Leaves Are Falling
It’s the middle fo the week and I woke up in the dark this morning. Did my eyes open at the right time? Driving my husband to work there was only a hint of pink in the sky this morning and my body has gone into hibernation mode. The sluggish feeling of winter has takenContinue reading “The Leaves Are Falling”
Monday is Day #11 Sour
My desk is piled high with LED lights to fix a broken light box, pens, and clay and I turned my head away as I got ready for the week this morning. The sluggish feeling of the morning isn’t very motivating, and I feel like it’s another Sour Monday. A new start looks sweet butContinue reading “Monday is Day #11 Sour”
Day #10 Pick
Nothing like a lazy and quiet Sunday to nap in while the sun streams in through windows. I feel like a comfortable cat in her pile of blankets and pillows. Then, I woke and realized I worked in The Art Shoppe today. While I play shop girl in Minneapolis, my mind went through the 31Continue reading “Day #10 Pick”
Day #9 of InkTober and Preptober!
Friday nights during the month of October are about baking pink glittered brains inside my clay oven until midnight. I fill witch’s cauldrons with sparkling green goo bubbles. What would a witch stall at a market place sell right now? Well, eyeball soup and brains on a silver platter. Everything on an inch scale orContinue reading “Day #9 of InkTober and Preptober!”
Friday is Day #8 – Watch
Last night meant late hours because my art muse decided to stay awake and create a miniature cauldron of green, glittery goo. I was supposed to be working on my next day of InkTober but my hands itched to make something in 3D. No matter the medium, at least these chilly months inspire creation. SubtitlesContinue reading “Friday is Day #8 – Watch”
Day #6 of InkTober – Word Prompt Is Spirit
The middle of the week is here and I started to laugh when I saw the prompt for Day # 6. The word spirit didn’t bring to mind anything spooky, instead it conjured up the image of a flask of hard liquor. Yes, it’s been that kind of day and I’m not a drinker. IContinue reading “Day #6 of InkTober – Word Prompt Is Spirit”
