Everything is odd

This is my third attempt at a post tonight. In reflection upon what I’d been writing earlier tonight, it would seem that I’m at an uncomfortable point with my craft. I want to get better and I know this, but the way I feel is in conflict with how the world is. I want to … Continue reading Everything is odd

What an adventure

Yes, I did jinx myself with my post last night. I didn’t sleep, but it wasn’t because of the coffee. It was the wind. As the evening progressed, the wind really did pick up. We’d had high wind advisories, but I hadn’t been worried because I knew I’d be in a hotel. However, around the … Continue reading What an adventure

A quick, short post

Gem State Comic Con tomorrow. I’ve been out helping a writer with her audiobook today. Not much writing done. I’m hoping I’ll get a little bit done tonight, but I might go for a walk first. Maybe, if the wind hasn’t come up too badly. I did have coffee which had 4 shots of espresso … Continue reading A quick, short post

Rethinking goals

It’s been a slow day today. I woke up in the middle of the night with a headache and it progressed to a full migraine by morning. I took a migraine pill and climbed back into bed. It’s starting to recede now, but I’ve just spent the day going at about 1/4 speed. I’m not … Continue reading Rethinking goals

Stonecharmer short story

Last night I mentioned a short story in the Kickstarter campaign for my Stonecharmer trilogy. Today, I finished the cover for the short story. This story is about a magesmith, someone licensed to work the Thyst into magical items, whose shop is invaded by three miners. Each man has a purpose for being there. Yet … Continue reading Stonecharmer short story

Stonecharmer Kickstarter has begun

The trilogy I spent the last part of last year and the first of this year writing is now in a Kickstarter campaign. Welcome to the Stonecharmer series. The story is about a girl, Saebryne, who begins to hear screaming and pounding marches in her head. When her family finds out that she is hearing … Continue reading Stonecharmer Kickstarter has begun

Tight focus

I have spent the day getting caught up on writing my newsletter and catching up on my Patreon posts and I’m still behind there, though it isn’t too bad. I’ll be caught up soon — I think I’m technically behind only by one post right now. I’m also meeting with another writer in Boise on … Continue reading Tight focus

Who needs sleep?

Temmy wanted to cuddle early this morning — about 4:30, which was fine, I suppose. But then she stretched and put her paw in my face. I don’t like paws to the face and I haven’t been able to break her of this habit yet. She has one claw that is really long and sharp … Continue reading Who needs sleep?

My first show of the season

First show of the season is now done. Woo hoo! Here’s the booth: And books! I’m tired. So glad I had my son and his girlfriend to help. I have really good kids and they both picked well. Anyway, I joked on Facebook today that I had put out a family portrait. That’s the picture … Continue reading My first show of the season

Jerome Music Boosters Spring Craft Show

Just a quick reminder that the Jerome Music Boosters Spring Craft Show is tomorrow (Saturday, April 2nd) at the Jerome High School from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. I’m wishing I’d remembered to take pictures of my booth after we got it set up tonight, but we were pushing the end time as it was … Continue reading Jerome Music Boosters Spring Craft Show
