Painting and movie

As you can see above, I did some ACEO sized paintings today. The image above is the midway point for them once they were all blocked in. Here’s the same ones finished: Then I quickly did one more because my son told me I some more time before he was ready to sit down and … Continue reading Painting and movie

Play time

My youngest and I went to see The Best Christmas Pageant Ever today at the local community college. Here we are all masked up and ready for the play. My oldest played “Bob” in the show. Here’s a picture of him: Then here he is with his “wife, Grace”: They did such a fabulous job. … Continue reading Play time

Tinkering away

I sit here, mulling over spreadsheet with mountains of data. What does it all mean? A formula here, a subtotal there. Tinker, tinker, tinker. There are some things I wish I could fix. They lie just out of reach. A bar across the door which says I’m not allowed. Police line, do not cross. Well … Continue reading Tinkering away

Patreon – a fresh start / Vella – a new beginning

As we head into the new year, I’m looking for new, exciting avenues. One of these, I’ve decided to restart my Patreon page, which would allow people to contribute on a monthly basis in return for books, art, or both. I’ve been thinking about so many options, but I finally narrowed it down to a … Continue reading Patreon – a fresh start / Vella – a new beginning

Doubt is removed by action

I just came across that quote — “Doubt is removed by action.” I think it works well today. I’ve been trying to decide on a few things and going back and forth as to if it were a good idea or not. Today, I decided to jump in and give one of them a shot. … Continue reading Doubt is removed by action

And I’m off…

Last night at six minutes into this new day (yup, that’s 12:06 a.m.), I finished the second book of the trilogy. This afternoon, I started the third book. I’ve gone way longer in the first chapter than I probably should have, but I’m letting it run right now. I feel like a lot of it … Continue reading And I’m off…

And well…

I’m not finished with the second book yet. I started my day out working on my newsletter which is going out tomorrow and I had several goodies to set up for that. It took me several hours to get that done. However, when I was meditating the other day, it popped into my head how … Continue reading And well…

Second book: solved

I solved my issue with the second book. I do admit that I kind of rushed the end a bit after that, but I wanted to make sure it was going to work. I’ll loop back through to sink another layer into it before writing the last chapter, which should happen tomorrow. So, I wasn’t … Continue reading Second book: solved

Loki’s hardcover is here

The hardcover version of 1-800-CallLoki (which contains the first 5 connected stories of the story arc) is now available. Had a fun day out at the Magic Valley Arts Council. There weren’t a whole lot of people out today, but it was great to visit with those people who did show up. Maybe it was … Continue reading Loki’s hardcover is here

So close

I thought I’d be finishing with the 2nd book in the trilogy this week, probably Sunday. Now, I kind of wonder if I’ll actually make that deadline. Woosh! I can almost hear it now. No, it’s not really as bad as it seems. I still could finish on Sunday. Part of it depends on what … Continue reading So close
