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”
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”
Twin Cities Con 2023
I know a few weeks have passed since my last post but my world has been filled with life size cats, characters from The Never Ending Story, and very tall Chewbacca’s. I haven’t had that much time at the keyboard because my husband and I were getting ready for our very first Con of theContinue reading “Twin Cities Con 2023”
Fairy and Fantasy Stories
Yesterday, I was driving to pick up my husband after work and listening to some retro music when my recent creations of fantasy books made out of clay and mythical creatures took over. My mind drifted back to a few old stories that I started to write about a Fae kingdom and a family ofContinue reading “Fairy and Fantasy Stories”
AI Writing
This week I decided to play in the open source AI platforms to see what kinds of answers are generated and what it can really do. Many business people are using this kind of AI to write marketing headlines, newsletters, and marketing materials. My experience following other people using CHATGPT vary from people using thisContinue reading “AI Writing”
Happy New Year!
The ringing of the New Year bells may be ringing a little too loudly for those celebrated the coming a new beginning with too much enthusiasm. Another year to a writer means new books to read, more writing, and creating a new list of to-do’s. Maybe this will be the year that you sign thatContinue reading “Happy New Year!”
Day #15: Tension
Since we worked on our relationships yesterday, it only seems fitting that we create some more tension throughout our story. We’re building the layers into our novel and this is another way to add interest to our characters and the places where we have our main points. I could use an onion reference but IContinue reading “Day #15: Tension”
Zombie Day
I’m racing against the clock tonight and I have half an hour to spare before I turn into a pumpkin again. I just spent all day adding the finishing touches to all my pieces on a few hours of sleep today. I feel out like a zombie, and it fits with all of my HalloweenContinue reading “Zombie Day”
Weekend Events
This weekend was full of music at the Loud On Lake Street Outdoor Music Festival on Saturday. Our booth The Art Shoppe was a little close to the music speakers but it kept us moving and awake from 11 – 4:30 pm. I was with 3 other artists and we got a front row seatContinue reading “Weekend Events”
Colors of Character
Ideas are floating in my head and I’m trying to find an anchor for one of them to get a few projects completed in the next few weeks. I have the job of creating a simple logo but it’s not so simple. Taking a design and stripping it down to it’s core element has neverContinue reading “Colors of Character”
Mother Nature In Minnesota
I’m at my writing post again like clockwork and my eyeballs feel like they’ve been under a hairdryer for 8 hours. This weekend my biggest challenge was Minnesota weather and participating in an open flea market that had no wind barriers around a large open field. I set up my tent in the early morningContinue reading “Mother Nature In Minnesota”
