Words rising

So last year, when I was in that crazy phase of thinking that a daily page count might inspire me and no longer being so concerned with daily word counts, I set my daily word goal to 1. Yep, one word a day. That way, even if I didn’t have time in my day, I … Continue reading Words rising

Last minute

Working on my book today. Doing this to keep the streak. Currently at 515 days, but I’m seriously considering cutting back so I have more time to write my stories. Maybe it’s just my mood right now. Streak continues. Now, back to the story. Cheers.

Foggy morning – beautiful sunset

The picture at the top and those that follow are from yesterday. The canyon was so foggy, but when I came out of the fog, it was so beautiful – almost creamy cherry in color. i wish the photos reflected that better. I had to take a moment to appreciate it. Then, the evening was … Continue reading Foggy morning – beautiful sunset

Stopping and not sleeping

I had a hard time getting to sleep last night. A bunch of tension and anxiety. Even though I knew exactly what was going on and how my mind was convincing me of an imaginary conversations. It gave me the perfect opportunity to practice what I’ve learned from my reading in Breakfast with Seneca. That … Continue reading Stopping and not sleeping

More than a dog’s day

Corrections. Many, many corrections today. Sorted a spreadsheet. Made entries. Put questions on another spreadsheet. My brain is tired. Only one of these paragraphs has more than two sentences today. Maybe tomorrow will not be so abrupt. Today, it is all I can handle. I don’t think Merlin is coping well either. Hopefully by tomorrow, … Continue reading More than a dog’s day

Real life interruptions

Going to be a short blog today. I’ve been working on getting some information together today and that’s taken a bit of time. Life doesn’t stop just because I want to be creative, so unfortunately sometimes I have to take care of real life business. What a bummer! Yeah, I’ve been told that I need … Continue reading Real life interruptions

Sketching goats

Goats. I thought that since I unveiled my Thunder Goat Coffee mug yesterday, I would show some of the sketches that I did before settling on this design. At first, I actually had a different name for it. It went to my first reader with the original name before getting changed. Here’s some of my … Continue reading Sketching goats

Thunder Goat Coffee

I finally got started on the 7th segment of the Fenrir’s Tales story I’d started last year. This is the 27th tale in total. I really hope this is the last segment to this particular story. We’ll see what the universe has planned though. That special project I’d been working on which I mentioned in … Continue reading Thunder Goat Coffee

Devil in the details

I think I’m going to need a new tag for my blog. This one will be called, “lessons to remember.” Yes, a great note to myself. And why do I come to this decision? Because I had a realization I know I’ve had before: that I need to draw more. Okay, it actually is a … Continue reading Devil in the details

There

It seemed like a breath. It was there and then gone again. A ghost? Could it be something real? Just a moment of emotion. How could one tell if it was there or not. There, here, anywhere. A doubt? Was it just imagination? Just a laugh on the wind. It seemed like a heartbeat. It … Continue reading There
