The week has started again and I’m thinking about pronto pups, funnel cakes, and Matha’s Cookies. Yes! The Minnesota State Fair begins and I already have my ticket. I will be wandering around safely but with my mouth watering like everyone else who missed the fair last year. Last year was modified to tickets toContinue reading “Social Media Tips”

Dogs and Coffee
Someone I know had to go to the chiropractor last week because their lab size dog took off, and they did a face plant in the back yard. At least, they weren’t rollerblading down the sidewalk or downtown during the middle of the day for everyone to see them. I know the videos of dogsContinue reading “Dogs and Coffee”
Miniature Worlds
Imagine living in a miniaturized world where everything shrinks down to the size of a dime. Last night, I spent hours sculpting croissants and donuts in that world. I felt like I entered a bakery filled with pink frosting and sprinkles. Creating smaller than life size food made me think about classic children’s stories andContinue reading “Miniature Worlds”
Writing Up A Storm
Temperatures are back up into the 90s as we move into the last month of the summer in Minnesota. When the wind blows it’s like sucking up hot cotton into your mouth. You heave it back out and do a little gasp for relief. Stops for a cool drink, ice cream, and anything cold becomeContinue reading “Writing Up A Storm”
Summer Writing
Living in Minnesota there’s a line on the highways as the weekend nears that lead to the many lakes throughout the State. More campers and tents are visible as we try to reconnect with nature and escape the noise of the city. Trails are filled with hikers, bikers, and explorers looking for exercise and thoseContinue reading “Summer Writing”
It’s All About Love
The weekend is still spilling over into this week. Yesterday, I shared some of my weekend experience with everyone while I attended a family wedding. Let’s keep thoughts of love rolling for all those romance writers out there, or those who need work on those chapters. Writing romance doesn’t have to be all about steamingContinue reading “It’s All About Love”
Monday Memories
Saturday was filled with wedding vows, muted pink bridesmaid dresses, and a church full of family and friends. The niece I used to babysit was getting married to her sweetheart. All the children who used to run around and throw tantrums were all graduated. I hugged the relatives that I missed last year because ofContinue reading “Monday Memories”
Inventing Words
Friday is here and it’s time to stretch our imagination. I’m borrowing from a top 10 writing prompt list from 2018. When the words we know fail us, it’s time to invent a new one. Some call these ghost words, and somewhere editors with with dictionary groups decide whether or not they will go intoContinue reading “Inventing Words”
Finding Rhythm
The week is coming to a close and I’m finding a hard time getting back into my rhythm after a show. I know this feeling well and the good thing is I know it’s coming after a big event. Practicing what I preach I’m using my own exercises to write every day and finish oneContinue reading “Finding Rhythm”
Publishing and Progress Update
The mighty pen returns for the rest of the summer after my first book signing event of the year but the next few months will give my writing tools a different kind of exercise. I have my own publishing hat back on for my next journal, I’m helping three other authors publish their books. TwoContinue reading “Publishing and Progress Update”
Repeat Day!
I don’t know how well you did yesterday with your rhyming but my skills out loud need help. Talk about a brain freeze. This means that it’s time to do a repeat of yesterday’s exercise but in writing. I may need to do this on the weekend if this exercise doesn’t work right away. Today,Continue reading “Repeat Day!”
Rhyming
One of my former co-workers has a fellow author for a wife, and he’s helped her publish her series on Amazon. She does quite well online and there is something that I admire about her children’s books – they rhyme. Rhyming books that don’t end up like a bad television episode amaze me. Limericks andContinue reading “Rhyming”
