Progression video

Here’s the progression video of the painting I was working on earlier. Cheers.

Walk along the canyon

It was indeed a full day today, just not as I’d planned it. The first change of the day was an injection into my shoulder for pain. In a couple days, I’ll continue my exercises which have been helping. I’d like to get strength back into the shoulder. It’s scary to feel yourself getting older … Continue reading Walk along the canyon

Lining up stories and art

My story got sent in to the anthology today — two days before it was due. Now we’ll see what happens. I also started finishing up a couple other stories which have been held back by me not knowing what to do with them. It’s time I find out. There are some covers that need … Continue reading Lining up stories and art

Getting words done early

I’m nearly finished with writing the story for the anthology call. I’ll be able to send it out soon. Of course, I have no idea if it’ll be accepted or not, but if it’s not, I might try some mystery magazines. If they don’t want it either, then I’ll publish it myself and I’ll be … Continue reading Getting words done early

Wisdom to remain silent

I am not going to release that long blog I started working on a couple days ago. I might post it for myself personally, something I can reflect back on in a few years, but no one else needs to see it. I should probably even continue working on some of it because it was … Continue reading Wisdom to remain silent

Lotus thoughts

I worked on that blog which didn’t get posted last night some more, but I still can’t post it. It’s just not done percolating inside me I guess. I keep getting more and more information from it. It was a little like an earthquake and I’m still experiencing the aftershocks. Self-discovery is a lot like … Continue reading Lotus thoughts

A second time

Earlier this evening, I had started another blog post that was supposed to go up tonight. But then I fed the pets for a second time and I washed dishes for the second time, and while doing that I knew I’d be writing a blog post for the second time. I drew the line at … Continue reading A second time

Overstretching tonight

There are still not enough hours in the day. I swear that I really need to move to a 36 hour work day or something. Granted, I did take a nap today, so I’m feeling pretty lucky there. I did my writing this morning in sprints of 15 minutes. I’m not sure I could have … Continue reading Overstretching tonight

Guesses, anyone?

I’m starting to feel like I’m the one in this house that never gets any sleep. Everyone is snoring right now. It’s Wednesday and I didn’t want to think about business today. I started out writing and all was good, but my brain got very “Squirrel!” on me. Plus, I was listening to writing workshop … Continue reading Guesses, anyone?

Writing and not forgetting little to-do’s

After writing last night’s blog post, I went back as I said I was going to and worked some more on setting up ClickUp, including lining out a couple tasks I wanted to get done over the next couple of days. One of those things was eBay listings because I needed to get more going. … Continue reading Writing and not forgetting little to-do’s
