My Pop-Up Bookstand!

My pop-up bookstand is coming along! And it all fits in a few bags easily carried. I make my own magic, man! And you may think those are twinkle lights…but they’re fairies. They flew by to approve my shop.

See you soon, Chicago!

Just a mock-up…but this little kiosk collapses into a bag to go over my shoulder! Tiered cardboard bookshelf on the way will sit on top. Need batteries for lots more twinkle lights! Let’s see what I do with the sign. Storage in the back for extra tales. Starting February, my little mobile bookshop and I will be L hopping. I owe you some visits, Chicago! Come along on the adventure with me…

In A Bookish Way

How are you staying inspired today? I’ll be spending my day in a bookish way – writing, planning, dreaming ~

I’m enjoying Stephen King’s On Writing – quite the storyteller!

Great Deal!

The last secondhand purse I purchased broke apart, so I stopped at the consignment shop and purchased another for a great deal! I love buying used items at a discount for what I need!

The Imagination

Still was the first fully contemporary book I’ve written, and the first that felt like I might pass by one of my characters in a museum, or on a city street one day. The people I created felt so real. Maybe because they live in my world. Or maybe, that’s just how powerful the imagination is.

It Made Me Smile

A passerby left a message on the hood of my car. It made me smile…

Scratching Pages

The writing has been difficult these weeks. Words? I have them. They are on the page. I always have words. I’ve been scratching pages. Which isn’t like me. But that’s because I know. They just aren’t the right ones.

This coming event season when a reader asks for my newest novel, I want to hand them something that is going to make them gasp, revolt, smile, laugh, cringe, drop a tear…need to stay up for just one more chapter. But that takes more than words. It takes heart.

~ Stay Inspired ~
