Websites

Today, I’ve been working on ideas for my personal website and looking at things I can do with Morning Sky Studios as well. I had to take the newly arrived books over to the Magic Valley Arts Council, so I didn’t want to get involved in anything too much this morning. It didn’t help that … Continue reading Websites

Books

I received my books today for The Stardust Collection and Dragons of Wellsdeep as well as copies of others I’d run out of. Funny think is that I remember Quest for the Three Books being much thicker than it is. I wonder if something got changed. It was just strange. But, the size of it … Continue reading Books

Happy Halloween

I hope everyone had a good Halloween. I started mine out writing the first chapter and a half of book 2. Then I went out and cleared the leaves from my walkway. Yesterday there were barely any leaves on the lawn and I didn’t think I’d have to do much. Of course, I opened my … Continue reading Happy Halloween

Finished

I finished with book 1 of 3 today. Well, finished it for the second time. It did “lose” those 15,000 words, but it’s in quotes because I think I’ll actually be able to use 7-8,000 of them in the 2nd book. I started to see where the book was going and how the start of … Continue reading Finished

Working on the cover for 1-800-Lok8

As the title says, I spent time today working on a cover mockup for the 8th Loki novella. I feel like I’m narrowing in on what I want, but I haven’t gotten that a-ha moment I like. My son steered me back to going back toward the way the covers were done for the first … Continue reading Working on the cover for 1-800-Lok8

Thought I’d work on publishing

I sat down today to start putting together a new short story for publication. It led me to a day of gardening and tending. I realized I needed to redo some of the back matter for this story, which led me to creating ads. That took me down a rabbit hole where I discovered a … Continue reading Thought I’d work on publishing

Art of the Gift

I was asked to participate in this year’s Art of the Gift hosted by the Magic Valley Arts Council. Today I dropped off several novels and pieces of art for the show. We’re working on setting up dates for a book signing some evening, so more details on that to come. As for the show, … Continue reading Art of the Gift

Walking the baby steps

I did get my homework finished and turned in last night. But then I was up for an extra hour, probably coming down off the adrenaline rush of doing all that. I had planned on sleeping in to account for staying up late. Nope. I felt my watch buzz with a notification for me to … Continue reading Walking the baby steps

Working on homework

I got up and wrote some this morning, but then we needed to go to town for some shopping. That took more time than expected. Since then, I’ve been working on my homework assignment for class this week. I was just able to finish the videos last night, so I feel like I’ve been up … Continue reading Working on homework

Resisting change

Well, getting up with the sunrise just isn’t working for me. I guess that experiment is over. I wake when I wake. Of course, I woke shortly before Kreeli came galloping in my room announcing that she needed to go out. At 15, if she’s running in the morning, that means its urgent. It means … Continue reading Resisting change
