Painting starts

As I mentioned in my blog yesterday, I’ve been in the painting mood lately. I’m certain there is a rhythm to the ups and downs of my creative tendencies, but I’ve never sat down to figure them out. Maybe I should. Along with working on Palladium today (writing), I prepared several blocked in paintings which … Continue reading Painting starts

Landscape #11

Painting today, along with some writing. Trying to get some new, fun art ready for FanX and a couple other upcoming shows. This piece is one I did a couple months ago and it’s currently listed on Etsy. I actually painted it because I had someone at a show ask me if I had anything … Continue reading Landscape #11

Save the carp!

I’ve probably mentioned before that one of the things I like about where I live now is the fact that once a week during the summer I can flood irrigate my yard. Today was watering day. Today while I irrigated, I decided that I’d try to dictate and get some words done. Fortunately, most of … Continue reading Save the carp!

And so… what about the final Sacred Knight?

Last night I was a little frustrated with myself and it was all my own doing. When I’d been preparing the back matter for The Missing Thread, I wanted to finalize the cover for 6th Sacred Knight. The problem was that even though I’d finished writing the story, it had never told me what it … Continue reading And so… what about the final Sacred Knight?

It’s here!

Yes, you knew it was coming, all you smart readers out there, you! The Missing Thread is available. I won’t wait. I’ll give you the link https://books2read.com/the-missing-th... If you waited around for the next paragraph, then let me say that the print book is out and available through Amazon. I don’t have it up in … Continue reading It’s here!

Long day

Today has been a long day. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I know I’ve been sitting at my computer since I got up today, but my logged time says that’s I’ve only been “working” for 9 1/2 hours. At least tomorrow I should have an announcement to make. Not that you don’t know … Continue reading Long day

The Missing Thread

Day 3 of editing this book. I’ve finished. I have the map together and I just finished with the character list. 43 characters, with 13 of those being primary characters in the book. The map was easy because most of the story takes place in Dubinshire. But if you think it was easy, guess again. … Continue reading The Missing Thread

Me, hopeless?

I’m writing this as it’s about time for me to turn in for the night. I can’t believe the day whooshed by so quickly. I’ve still been editing The Missing Thread all day, save for writing some new words for Palladium. I’m hoping tomorrow I can finish the edits, prepare the character list, and update … Continue reading Me, hopeless?

Coffee or squirrels: pick your poison

With the 8th Loki adventure written, I got back to work on Palladium today. I was pretty excited about it not only because… well, writing is always fun, but because I had a new coffee to help inspire the mood. I found this at Albertsons earlier this week. I’d originally gone over there because I … Continue reading Coffee or squirrels: pick your poison

Today of all days

I finished the 8th Loki adventure today, and then I cried. I should have finished the story yesterday. The end was in sight. I knew where I was going and what needed to be done, but I needed to go shopping. After five hours of driving around town to get all my shopping in as … Continue reading Today of all days
