Part 2 is finished

So far, all the Fenrir’s Tales that have multiple parts to them have nice little endings that still wrap the story. Until today. The ending to Dog Park (Part 1) made me cry. The ending to Dog Park (Part 2) is a cliffhanger and a drastic edgy one at that. When I started this story, … Continue reading Part 2 is finished

Fenrir’s stories

I’m working on the second part of the Fenrir’s Tales story I started last week. Yeah, the one that made me cry. Aw. This half (or I hope it will be half — I started wondering today if it was also going to be a 3 part story) is being a lot of fun so … Continue reading Fenrir’s stories

Pressure cook

I’m trying to use up items in my freezer. The assortment is mind-boggling. Yet, it really needs defrosted since I don’t think it’s ever been done. I am slowly working my way to the bottom. What I’ve really decided that I need is a quick-reference chart for my pressure cooker, one that actually refers to … Continue reading Pressure cook

Backyard wildlife

Still a little sore today, but it’s okay. Now, I will show you the couple of things I found yesterday and found fascinating. First, I found this white moth hiding in some of the grass I was mowing. I believe this is a white satin moth. A beautiful creature who seems to be a little … Continue reading Backyard wildlife

Mowing in the rain

Thanks to me sleeping late this morning, my creative voice revealed how it wanted to correct Ring of Stars. I spent the morning after that weaving that into the story. I feel much better about it now. I think it’s ready. Now I have to proof it and get it out. Woo hoo. After that, … Continue reading Mowing in the rain

Tumbleweed Collective

Merlin and I took a little trip out to the post office today to mail our packages, then we drove over to Shoshone, Idaho, where I set up a little book display with Tumbleweed Collective. That’s in the picture above. They have many great items in there, from vintage and antique items to handmade goods, … Continue reading Tumbleweed Collective

Ready to ship

I had a chance to sort my books today after the second shipment came in. Then I worked on getting them shipped out to those who were on the paperback tiers for my Kickstarter campaign. Now, all I have left to ship it the hardbacks when they arrive. Here’s a view of all the sorted … Continue reading Ready to ship

My current daily distraction

I’ve been watching Lucifer and I’m now getting the end of season 2. I have to say that I really enjoy this show. I didn’t at first. I wanted to, but I watched the first episode and I obviously wasn’t ready for it. A bit after that, my dad asked me if I’d watched the … Continue reading My current daily distraction

Deleting lines

I still have two Covid tests beside me. I decided to wait until this morning to see how I felt since that would tell me whether it was stress or if I really was getting sick. Stress. I’m much less stressed about it now. I pulled weeds in my garden tonight. That probably helped too. … Continue reading Deleting lines

What makes me not excited over a shipment of books?

Books started arriving today. I don’t yet have all the books to start sending them out, but since I don’t have the energy right now, that’s all right. I did get to hold the Stonecharmer book in my hands and flip though it, but that’s about all I’ve done. I’m currently sitting with two unused … Continue reading What makes me not excited over a shipment of books?
