Winding down

Tonight I have a case of bedtime procrastination. Who knew that was a thing? Bedtime procrastination — when you know you should go to bed, but resist it. Yep, that’s me. One would think the Earl Grey Lavender tea I had tonight (yes, me, tea — it must be a strange night) would have made … Continue reading Winding down

Love and Cupid

I started another Cupid story today. Strangely, it’s a holiday story too. When I wrote I’m with Cupid, I had the intention of writing a Cupid story every year. Then, time passed and I just didn’t have the mood. I couldn’t bring myself to getting into the Cupid character. But today, it felt right. I … Continue reading Love and Cupid

Blasé planning and bite-sized segments

I wanted to write about the planning I’d been doing on Friday, but that seems to not be happening today. When I looked at the notes I took, the ones I’d spent all afternoon writing, it all felt so blasé. I sat there staring at some of my notes wondering why I had taken them. … Continue reading Blasé planning and bite-sized segments

Two covers done

Yes! Today, I finished the cover for the 9th Loki novella. Sorry, I can’t show it here yet. That privilege must go first to my Patreon for the support that has been provided to me. Soon afterward, though, I’ll show it here. I am very excited about how it turned out. It was hard not … Continue reading Two covers done

Root your life in passion

The above quote which is the title of this blog comes from Danny Gregory. Earlier today, I had many things I wanted to share. Now, I’m feeling a little downtrodden. I think, perhaps, that I need to digest some of the work I did today. Or, maybe I’ll wake up tomorrow and discover that today … Continue reading Root your life in passion

When dishes need washed

I started looking for a portable dishwasher today. I have one, but I think I’ve had it for about 10 years and I’m not sure it’s working real well these days. It was used and passed on to me when I got it. I love that I can roll it around and that it has … Continue reading When dishes need washed

Sorry, it’s filler

Sorry but tonight is a filler blog. I haven’t slept well in two nights and I’ve had a hard time concentrating today. I did manage to write almost a 1,000 words today, but now I’m done. I just don’t have the ability to write anything else or (more importantly) come up with something to write … Continue reading Sorry, it’s filler

Upcoming show

The Jerome Music Booster Holiday Craft & Gift Show is coming up in just over a week on November 19th at Jerome High School from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. I’ll have books and artwork, of course. There will also be coffee, jewelry, crocheted items, food (breads, cookies, jams, and hopefully some soup too), photography, … Continue reading Upcoming show

While on the ride

The picture above is of the Perrine Bridge crossing the Snake River Canyon north of Twin Falls, Idaho. I took it yesterday when we were riding along the path by the canyon. I was ahead of the other and it was so beautiful that I decided to stop and take the picture. Now, I get … Continue reading While on the ride

Yard work took it out of me

My son tells me that we rode 10 miles today. It certainly didn’t feel like it. Not until I was tired on the way home. I knew today was going to be the last nice-ish day for a while, so I made myself get out and rake leaves. There are still leaves on my trees, … Continue reading Yard work took it out of me
