Setting priorities

I had to sit down and write down a list of to-do items and set priorities today. I was starting to feel as if I have a log jam and need to break that up. That’s what happens when my brain goes squirreling off to chase shiny objects, even though things like setting up a … Continue reading Setting priorities

Do the best

Everyone is always doing the best they can for what they know at that moment in time. That’s the lesson I’m trying to remember today. I’m afraid that’s all that I have to say. And it took me a long time to write. Please just remember that while you’re out on your adventures. Cheers.

Store additions

Well, today has been a grand and glorious adventure. I had just gotten out of bed this morning (after going to sleep late — hey, I was writing, so no judging! — and being awaken in the early morning by my old dog and not being able to go back to sleep after that for … Continue reading Store additions

Outlining and adventuring

So far, I’m glad to report that the gloves worked well this morning. I managed to get 7 chapters of the first book outlined for what I’ve already written and cross-referenced with all the world-building information in a compendium for this series. When I worked on Sacred Knight, because the technology changed so much over … Continue reading Outlining and adventuring

Glove Quest

Today’s adventure was unexpected. I was sitting in my office this morning starting to read through the first of the three book series. It’s written, but it’s been awhile since I’ve worked on the series, so I thought it would be a get it back in my mind as well as start devising a list … Continue reading Glove Quest

Wash, rinse, repeat

Rained a lot today. Thunderstorms weren’t as dramatic as I initially thought they might be. Just rain. Even the occasional thunder we heard didn’t scare Merlin away, though Bella hunkered down and Coville did have some nervousness (which isn’t usual for him, and since it was at the beginning of the storm we actually thought … Continue reading Wash, rinse, repeat

Raking today

Well, the soreness from weeding my garden yesterday wasn’t as bad as I feared. Yes, I woke up stiff and sore, but I’d taken valerian last night to relax the muscles. As soon as I got up and got moving it wasn’t too bad. As if weeding yesterday wasn’t enough, the weather cooperated enough for … Continue reading Raking today

I am going to hurt tomorrow

I think I’m in avoidance. Yes, I’m pretty sure I am. I had another class which started today (along with the one yesterday), so I’m working on these and watching the videos. However, I’ve also started watching the videos about writing a series. Okay, now obviously I know how to write series of several different … Continue reading I am going to hurt tomorrow

Tagging along for the ride

It feels a little strange to be sitting between projects right now. It feels like I’m mentally tagging along for the ride and waiting to see where I go. I’ve spent the last few days since finishing the manuscript for Palladium focused on rounding out Sword and Shield (Sacred Knight book 6). When I was … Continue reading Tagging along for the ride

The store is open

After much trial and error, I finally have my store up and running. Currently, it’s only stocked with books, both physical and electronic books, prints, and notecards mostly. Artwork will be posted as I have time. I am only shipping in the U.S. right now and the way it is set up I can’t even … Continue reading The store is open
