Unfinished

I went back through several unfinished blog posts that I have. I have about 15 of them. I was really hoping I’d have something which I could finish and use for tonight. Nope. While some of them are truly just rambling, some are just half baked. Some are outdated. Others I have clearly left behind. … Continue reading Unfinished

Sleep energy

Today has ended up to be a lazy day. Oh, I had things to do, but I just couldn’t get to them. I did some reading, but I kept falling asleep, despite getting enough sleep last night. I finally gave in and went to take a nap. Now Merlin is telling me that he wants … Continue reading Sleep energy

Taking me back

I love watching the stars. Granted, right now the nights are a little cold to stay out for too long. That doesn’t stop me from trying. My dad and I used to go and stand outside in our long driveway. We’d face the fields but look up at the stars. He’d point out a few … Continue reading Taking me back

Why I like to write into the dark

Writing into the dark… discovery writer… pantster…. Lots of ways to describe a writer who just writes. No outlines. No character sketches. Just writing. I have always done this. I’ve tried to plot and design characters and regulate how things come out on the page. It just isn’t me. I get bored with stories quickly … Continue reading Why I like to write into the dark

Cats and stress — who asked for that?

After I finished my short, stressed blog yesterday, I stepped outside with Merlin and it was snowing. The snow was so wet that it sounded like rain. The pitter-pats of it hitting the leaves, lawn, and plants was amazing. Then, went I went back inside, the pets convinced me it was time for bed. I … Continue reading Cats and stress — who asked for that?

Stressed

Sorry. I am too stressed to write a blog post today. If anything, please send blessings that tomorrow rectified what was going on today quickly and that I can move beyond this moment. Thank you. Cheers!

Place in the world

I must confess: This streak might be more powerful than I think. I don’t know if I would otherwise be writing tonight unless I didn’t want to keep up a streak which I don’t even know if I want to continue. I’m not even sure that makes sense to me. And that is why this … Continue reading Place in the world

Move over creativity

I started out the day writing and then I jumped in the booth to get some recording done. I’ve reset my mic (again), but this time I think I’m happy with it. Of course, I won’t know for certain until I get into editing it and hear how it sounds mastered. But, for the moment, … Continue reading Move over creativity

And there’s an eighth

A day ago or so, I thought I’d finished the 7th part of the Fenrir’s Tales story that I’ve been working on (for far too long). It’s the 27th one I’ve written. It wasn’t, by any stretch, the end of this series of dog park stories I was doing. I wasn’t sure that I really … Continue reading And there’s an eighth
