New ACEO’s

I thought I was going to finish Loki today. I didn’t. But, it is wrapping up. I started 5 ACEO’s and finished 2 of them. Yesterday, I got some ACEO’s listed on my website and a more on Etsy. Here are some of them: Find these and more on my website. Of course, more are … Continue reading New ACEO’s

Spring, where are you?

Every time I think I get close to being able to open up my office after the coldest parts of winter, along marches in some more days of temperatures down in the 10’s-20’s. I remind myself that we are two weeks away from spring. My tulips are showing their silly little heads — I wish … Continue reading Spring, where are you?

Tinkering on audio

Finished up the Fenrir story this morning. This one was short, especially compared to the last two that I did. And, I do suspect it has something to do with the 11th Loki novella. So why not the next Loki novella? Good question. But in the next novella, I have an idea of what I … Continue reading Tinkering on audio

First impressions

I started a new Fenrir story last night. When I was working on it today, I started to wonder if it’s actually part of the 11th Loki novella. Which is kind of cool because it’s my 11th Fenrir’s Tales short story. Of course, on Vella it will be listed as the 10th story because I … Continue reading First impressions

4 books, 3 packages

I feel sorry for my postal carrier. He’s probably wondering what is going on. Actually, he knows — he’s seen me outside writing and painting and he’s related to one of the people who runs a show that I go to. Besides, today wasn’t our normal carrier, so he’s the one I felt sorry for … Continue reading 4 books, 3 packages

Is Loki ever going to end?

I woke up today knowing that I had a lot of words to get done today to finish out this week, but I started out my day getting the remaining paintings listed on my website or Etsy. There were only a few that hadn’t been done or that I didn’t pull out a couple of … Continue reading Is Loki ever going to end?

Van Gogh documentary

I watched a documentary on Vincent Van Gogh today. At first, I was wondering if the production company had done anything at all. It was pictures and short videos which looked like stock video. They had a voice over reading letters from Vincent to (mostly) his brother, Theo. Along the way, I found myself agreeing … Continue reading Van Gogh documentary

Speed bump

It was my son’s day off, so we decided to make a quick trip to the libraries and to stop at Hobby Lobby (gee, I don’t possibly know why I’d need to go there – grin!) After I got my eBay shipments ready, we headed out. Picked up a few movies, more than we could … Continue reading Speed bump

Today feels better

As I was writing my blog last night, I had an idea on the audio. I just had to give it a try. I’m pleased to report that it worked. There were a couple minor adjustments I needed to make, and a couple tweaks I made in the booth today. I recorded another short story … Continue reading Today feels better

A reason to get some sleep

I’ve been trying to enjoy the little things today, like watching the little black birds bathing in the large dark puddle of my neighbor’s driveway, seeing a man smile as he passes a woman carrying a baby, and the chuckle of an old woman even though I don’t know what she was laughing at. I … Continue reading A reason to get some sleep
