Hump day is the perfect time to provide resources for those who are lost and don’t know what to write about next. Today, there are several resources out there and fellow authors but the danger is consuming the information and not getting anything done. After meeting many people who say they want to write aContinue reading “Baby Steps”

Resources For Writers
There’s only a few days left before Preptober begins and fingers will be flying all over the world as writers prepare to join NaNoWriMo. What are your goals for the month of November? If you haven’t participated in either, then this is your introduction. There’s no right approach or way to join in the nextContinue reading “Resources For Writers”
Friday Yuck
The weekend is here and I started my day with taking a rest to get over the seasonal bug that’s causing congestion and what I call the Yuck. I guess this is my body’s way of greeting a new season and all I can do is rest. Extra sleep boosted my lack of energy forContinue reading “Friday Yuck”
Under the Weather
Ever have one of those days when you feel like curling into a ball all day? Well, that was me yesterday. I was under the weather and I’m still trying to get to 100% again. Fall is definitely here and every time there’s a change in season my body protests. I had plans to getContinue reading “Under the Weather”
My Miniature World
All the creating for this past weekend’s outdoor event has increased my appetite for all things Halloween. My miniature world turned to holiday set building. Thank you to all those who stopped by my table. What they didn’t see was a very late night packing up pieces, and a pile of those I couldn’t bringContinue reading “My Miniature World”
Outdoor Event – September 18th
Friday is here and I’m running around getting everything ready for tomorrow’s show. Last coats of glaze will go on and packing and repacking will happen because my brain wants to add more to the already packed boxes for tomorrow. My Thanksgiving dinner will be on display along with some fantastical creatures. I might evenContinue reading “Outdoor Event – September 18th”
If Walls Could Talk
During the past few months I’ve been volunteering at the Art Shoppe in Minneapolis to help while someone was out on vacation. Getting to know and speak with other artists and authors is one of the highlights. My payment is in helping the creatives in the shop get paid for their work. There’s something satisfyingContinue reading “If Walls Could Talk”
Marshmallow Wednesday
I see more hoodies passing by as I walk the streets of Minnesota in the middle of the day. The run to my car in the morning might mean I have to put on my fall coat but the one thing that’s not my favorite during the colder months is all the heavy layers. IContinue reading “Marshmallow Wednesday”
The Write Focus
This weekend I started working on a new project that involves those diorama’s we created with shoe boxes in grade school. I spent some more time getting hot glue stuck to my skin to build more shelving and stands for all things that are miniaturized. Do you want to know what my highlight was? IContinue reading “The Write Focus”
Saturday Alternate Worlds
This morning I woke up to my husband leaning over my face to tell me that he was going on a run. He does this sometimes out of habit but also because I’ve told him to. You know the mind of a writer. To normal people waking up and finding the person you love missingContinue reading “Saturday Alternate Worlds”
Spaghetti, Meatballs, and Rainbows
Hump Day started the same as every day. A drive in the morning to drop off my husband at work. I always pass a row of trees near the road that hand over the end to shade the street like tall green umbrellas. For a few seconds, I felt like I was driving down aContinue reading “Spaghetti, Meatballs, and Rainbows”
Life Up North
The great fight of the North started at the beginning of the month. The cold of the night clings longer to the mornings and our temperatures have dipped. Those who live in California or down South already have on their Fall coats but not in Minnesota. We wear our shorts and run around in shortContinue reading “Life Up North”
