Temperance be thy name!

Temperance (shorted to “Temmy”) is now officially the kitten’s name. Her foster name was Temmy, which took a while to grow on us. Something didn’t feel quite right about it (plus, Temmy was actually the name of the lady who fostered her and was a joke by the supervisor, so they called her “Lil’ T,” …

Happy Solstice

Where I am, it is now the winter solstice. In the southern hemisphere, it is now the summer solstice. Okay, I have to say this is a hard concept for me to wrap my brain around and I know that it’s probably got to do with the fact that I’ve been in the northern hemisphere … Continue reading Happy Solstice

Kitten and Glove Quest Updates

Well, I’ve gotten nothing done today, at least not creatively. Not going to complain though because there were other tasks that needed done and they now are. Plus, I spent quite a bit of time trying to find out kitten’s name. I feel like I’m so close. I had to run out and find some … Continue reading Kitten and Glove Quest Updates

Names are important things

First, a kitty update. She is merging into the family well. She was quiet all last night, much to my surprise. The first sound I heard this morning was of her in the litter box. She sat with me today while the dogs sniffed her. Merlin has decided that she is okay to stay and …

Always on my mind

Judging from my blog posts this week, I guess the pets have weighed heavily on my mind this week. When we went to town for shopping earlier this week, we stopped in at Petco to get some kitty litter and to check on food. Now, I generally forget that they have cats for adoption there … Continue reading Always on my mind

None of the pets are happy with me

In-between creative activities today, I spent time with my pets. Now, none of them are real thrilled with me. Kreeli got her the fur on her legs trimmed down so she hopefully won’t collect as much snow as she did yesterday. At least when I tried to brush her off when she came back inside … Continue reading None of the pets are happy with me

I took a snow day

Didn’t mean to. Just kind of happened that way. You know, this sort of thing happens to me on Wednesday, not Thursdays. Of course, I was productive yesterday, so maybe the creative voice went on strike today. It did snow last night. We got a 2-3 inches I’d say. Kreeli, my old Shih Tzu, loves … Continue reading I took a snow day

Preview page

I have now set up a story preview page. Currently, it is over on the right hand sidebar listed with my other pages and titled Story Previews. Right now, only Dragons of Wellsdeep is up, and it has the prologue and chapter 1 available to be read. I’ll get more book previews up in the … Continue reading Preview page

1-800-Lok8 is out

The 8th Loki novella is out. Jason is in trouble and it’s up to Loki to save the day. This story was definitely a rollercoaster ride. There were a couple of times I threw my hands up in the air and walked away saying that I had no idea what was going to happen next. … Continue reading 1-800-Lok8 is out

A work in progress and fear

Did a fair amount of sketching today. Worked on a couple more ACEO’s today which will go on my Patreon page. But here’s a small painting that is in process. This one will probably be finished tomorrow. I feel like I’m trying to get up the courage to work on a larger painting again. It’s … Continue reading A work in progress and fear
