Writers – never stop learning

In a couple blogs lately, you’ve heard me talk about the classes I’m taking and short stories I’ve been writing for them. I haven’t said much more than that. Well, writers, I have a deal for you. This week, WMG Publishing is offering 50% off all their classes this week. If you want to get … Continue reading Writers – never stop learning

Palladium is done

Cirvel’s story, Palladium, is done. This finishes all the stories in the Sacred Knight/Onesong save the world epic adventure tale. Okay, so there is one more story I want to write which I know is in this world and it’s Elliot’s tale. But, aside from a cameo appearance from Cirvel, it will have nothing to … Continue reading Palladium is done

Okay, wow!

I had a fascinating experience today in the way of a fantastic leap of personal growth. First, we need to step back to sometime around 1995. Among a course of other things going on in my life, I was returning to attending writers conferences which I hadn’t been able to do while I was going … Continue reading Okay, wow!

So you want to be an indie?

I received an email from someone today asking my thoughts on a couple questions he had. I spent several hours replying to this email because it needed unpacked. Yet, at the end, he will have to make his own decisions. I thought I’d share a bit from that email here in case someone else needs … Continue reading So you want to be an indie?

Inching Closer

I spent several hours today working on my online store. It’s definitely getting closer. I keep having to remind myself that it will be good once it’s all set up. But I had to go through and make major changes to it today. Well, actually I had to go back through every item I had … Continue reading Inching Closer

Recording day

As predicted, the wind blew and it got cold. It was definitely a good day to spend in the recording booth. I recorded two chapters. Then while my son and I watched a movie, I mastered five tracks on the book bringing me to current on it. I still need to listen thought and take … Continue reading Recording day

Redrafted chapter

I had ground to a halt on Palladium shortly before working on the short story I had to get done for my class last week. So, I very much welcomed the break from Cirvel’s novel in order to work on something else. In working on it yesterday, I really felt like I was just spinning … Continue reading Redrafted chapter

Let’s see what happens – Day 3

Some while back, I had two posts about a painting I was working on. I finally got back to that painting. Find post 1 here. Find post 2 here. So this is where I ended last time: When I looked at it today, I felt like I’d lost the depth in the piece. Now I … Continue reading Let’s see what happens – Day 3

Short story finished

As the title states, the short story I’ve been working on a majority of this week is now finished, save for a spell check. Which is good because it’s due tomorrow. With luck, I will actually have it turned in tonight. That’s my goal. Plus, my day included a two hour nap. I’m starting to … Continue reading Short story finished

Party time

My finger continues to heal. I went out to shop for a few things I missed or didn’t get to the other day and I left the finger unbandaged. Well, of course, I then hit it on everything I possibly could. At least I didn’t break it open again. It’s back to being bandaged and … Continue reading Party time
