After my share the other day and longer post, I’m thinking about the direction I need to go for my novels. I know I can write thousands of pages but there’s been several times that I’ve had a never ending story that just felt flat. Then, the inevitable happens and I end up pitching myContinue reading “Frankenstein Stories”

Writing Prompt Share
The evening sun was setting and soft music played in the background as Fran immersed herself into the world of a new book. Tucked away in the small nook of her favorite bookstore, she never noticed the last motion sensor light going off and the front doors locking. She was too busy fighting new beastlyContinue reading “Writing Prompt Share”
A World of Strangers
The days after events should be declared a holiday for all creators. Being out there in a sea of strangers is one way to test what you create, build up your courage even if you don’t have any sales, and most of all give you a goal to achieve. What happens after an event looksContinue reading “A World of Strangers”
Friday Scramble
Friday is here and the great scramble is on this evening to try to get everything ready for our weekend flea market. I created a few more miniature sculptures and the only worry is being able to beat the heat for the next few days. I might even go in search of portable fans toContinue reading “Friday Scramble”
Going 3 Dimensional
My evening didn’t go quite as planned because I got a call from a business partner that needed some quick changes to their website. I’m all for helping someone else build up their business so I changed priorities so that they could add new features to their website. This could impact a potential speaking jobContinue reading “Going 3 Dimensional”
Giving Yourself Shape
I’m sitting in front of my keyboard today and it’s hard to sit still this week. I go through times when all I want to do is relax and watch my shows but words are piled up behind me, waiting along with my other pile of to dos. It’s one of those days when takingContinue reading “Giving Yourself Shape”
The Fat Fly
My mouth was watering after I returned from a quick walk, I could smell my warm breakfast sandwich through the wrapper. I carefully unfolded the crinkling paper, my mouth opened and to my horror a big black fly flew out. My fingers dropped the hot potatoed sandwich in horror. Aren’t watching monsters on “Stranger Things”Continue reading “The Fat Fly”

Minnesota Summer
Summer in Minnesota means getting into your car and having your makeup begin to melt before the air conditioning didn’t cool off the inside. The humidity up here can make your skin prune without taking a bath. It’s like being in a sauna while your outside trying to enjoy the outdoors. We put up withContinue reading “Minnesota Summer”
Letting Go
It took me a couple of days to let go of my pen last week, and finally take a rest. Instead of cramming in other projects I binged on some young adult summer romance movies on NetFlix and relaxed. My only hobby over the weekend was napping and trying not to feel guilty about itContinue reading “Letting Go”
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”
Work Life
The 4th of July ended with the sunshine instead of the early morning rumbles of thunder. The loud rolling woke me up early and I laid listening to the loud storm throw thunderbolts through the sky. I didn’t bother to look out the window. The whole weekend has been gray and drizzly. The sunset atContinue reading “Work Life”
