Finishing day

I finished putting on the final touches to the trilogy today. Still need to spellcheck through them, but I’m hoping to get that round done tomorrow. Then they will be formatted and be off to the first reader. Our temperature here reached a whopping 46 degrees today. It’s not optimal conditions, but it’s not likely … Continue reading Finishing day

Short night, busy day

Best laid plans… Yeah… I’d planned out what I was going to do over the next few days, but I suddenly had some eBay shipments to get out. And I had issues. My printer seems to be out of cyan ink and will not print even in black and white. It’s such an ink hog. … Continue reading Short night, busy day

Quick update on trilogy

A couple of days ago, I sent the first book in the trilogy I’d been writing the last few months to be read and proofed. Today I worked on aspects of the second book. Tomorrow, there’s still minor touches I need to make in the third book. Then I can do the finalizing drafts of … Continue reading Quick update on trilogy

This won’t be a popular post

I set my recording booth back the way it was a few days ago so that I can record punch-ins. There might still be some adjustments I need to make. I didn’t set up my computer to actually test it, so when I actually go to do punch-ins, I might have to adjust some for … Continue reading This won’t be a popular post

Fenrir Tales

Writing Fenrir’s Tales have been a good exercise for me. I’m glad I started them. While most of them are told from Fenrir’s point of view, I’ve done a couple in different voices. So why do I think this has been so good for me? Yesterday while I was working away on the 9th Loki … Continue reading Fenrir Tales

Patreon, rearranging, and foodie cats

I spent the morning writing Patreon posts for this week. Posted a lot of work-in-process pictures and a couple completed ones. Also talked a lot about my newest Loki novella. That was a lot of fun to write. Now I’m current for another week. Spent this afternoon working on my recording booth. It’s in shambles … Continue reading Patreon, rearranging, and foodie cats

Icicles? Yes, I have them.

I noticed these when I took the dogs out this morning. They were so beautiful with the rising sun sparkling through them that I had to run in and grab my phone to take a picture (or 2 or 4). (grin) Just look at the picture above and notice how the water ran and froze … Continue reading Icicles? Yes, I have them.

Practice and growth

I finished Joust by Mercedes Lackey last night. I couldn’t wait to get up this morning and start practicing with it. Of course, it was also due back at the library today, so I did have to hurry, but I got done most of what I wanted to do at this time. I’ll reach for … Continue reading Practice and growth

Back to the recording booth

Started out the day well. Got some more listings up on ebay. Then I went to work on audio editing. That’s when the house got quiet and I got the bug to get back to recording. I want to make some adjustments to my setup before I start recording the next book. I kept telling … Continue reading Back to the recording booth

Little by little

I think my efforts to wake up the sun are beginning to work! (grin) The temperature got up above freezing today — finally! — and started to melt some of the snow. Let me tell you how excited I was seeing water running down the street! My yard turned into a swamp, but I’ll take … Continue reading Little by little
