Fall is in full swing and I feel it’s going by in a blur. All the art and craft fair events are keeping my fingers busy and I haven’t had time to sit at my keyboard. Preptober already started and I realize that the commitment to my goal for my artwork doesn’t leave me timeContinue reading “Fall Update”

Out of Sync
This weekend I had to remind myself to be more patient so that my husband doesn’t have to witness the not so Minnesota nice words that spill out while I’m driving. The end of summer up here means unexpected construction projects and delays. Not to mention that my internal map and clock was off. IContinue reading “Out of Sync”
Rainy Day
I just love waking up to the sound of rain drops on the window and cloudy skies because it’s good writing weather. The best storms let out the the thunder. Up here, we’ve been running dry. A storm was just what we needed and it fits the fall theme. Some might call the rain miseryContinue reading “Rainy Day”
Lost In Minneapolis
Getting lost in my own city of Minneapolis, Minnesota, was like unlocking a time capsule. After we found parking around the corner from the Mill City Farmers Market, I felt like a child again and I was discovering all things around me. We passed the red sign for the Mill City Museum and stopped forContinue reading “Lost In Minneapolis”
Local Inspiration
The past few weeks I’ve been on a journey to find inspiration again for my writing. My mind has meandered down different avenues to keep my fingers active and posting meaningful content. The fall season left me feeling like a change was necessary to break up the routine. As I brainstormed, I thought about findingContinue reading “Local Inspiration”
Labor Day
My day of rest turned into a working day. Instead of grilling hot dogs outside in the near 100 degree weather, I was making miniature hot dog earrings from clay in the comfort of my air conditioning. The end of our Minnesota State Fair went out with one of the hottest days of the year.Continue reading “Labor Day”
Little Bit of Literary Life
Just when I thought all things literary went dead on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis I walked into a new independent bookstore. Strive Books made a quiet opening and may be in the beginning stages of reviving literacy downtown but it’s a start. When Barnes and Noble moved out with many struggling businesses in theContinue reading “Little Bit of Literary Life”
Road Trip
This weekend it’s time for another road trip with my husband as we pack up our vehicle for our last summer arts and crafts event. We decided to spurge on a hotel for one night because of the long drive back home. This time I let him book our stay because he doesn’t trust meContinue reading “Road Trip”
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”
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”
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”
