Palladium – Chapter 4

The friend, Sapere Imor, isn’t happy to see Cirvel and tries to persuade Cirvel with other temptations. Irritated with not getting his answers, … Continue reading Palladium – Chapter 4

I keep having imaginary conversations with myself. I really hate that because it’s such a time waster, which is not something I can afford right now. But, my mind keeps regurgitating things. Dumb primitive animal brain! Dumb things that I am forced to think about, things I want to say, things I don’t know that … Continue reading Progress – March 4, 2019

Thoughts on Castle in the Air
I’m a Diana Wynne Jones fan. Pure and simple. When I was looking for a new book to listen to, I decided that I wanted another DWJ book. I had once heard that Castle in the Air was a sequel to Howl’s Moving Castle. On this particular day though, I couldn’t find any confirmation that it was. I decided to take … Continue reading Thoughts on Castle in the Air

Palladium – Chapter 3
The last few weeks have seemed like “whack a mole.” Every time I get one of the little buggers back in the ground, something else pops up. I guess that’s the fun and adventures in space and time. For you Loki fans, I have been getting some done on the 7th novella. Okay, when it … Continue reading Palladium – Chapter 3

Egads! Are we at the end of February already? I had a good trip going and coming from Utah last week. Had some blowing snow across the road, but for the most part it was clear and dry. Wizarding Dayz was a very family-friendly show. I did a lot of networking, met some great people, … Continue reading Progress – February 25, 2019

Clouds over grassy knolls
Progression paintings for the new 18″x24″ acrylic painting I’ve been working on. I wanted a bright autumn tree against a dark sky showing signs of winter coming. Here’s the first layer: The dark clouds in the sky felt way too dark. I tried repeatedly to get it to lighten up. You can see some of … Continue reading Clouds over grassy knolls

Palladium – Chapter 2
I hope you enjoyed chapter 1 last week. It’s been interesting working on Cirvel’s story, especially since so many auxiliary stories feed off of the either the character or aspects of the story. Truly, Cirvel is a central character to so much of my work right now. There was a point when I was working … Continue reading Palladium – Chapter 2

Let me here a big “Woo-hoo!” WOO-HOO! Oh, yeah! That’s what I’m talking about. *grin* I know, you want to know why you have to give a big congratulatory whoop. Here it is: I finished my read-though edits of Tangled Magic last week and got it to my reader. She, in turn, sent me back my … Continue reading Progress – February 18, 2019

Palladium – Chapter 1
New story – same rules. This is pretty much first draft as it is written so far. When I went in and looked at the story to get the first chapter, I realized that I’ve written less than 50,000 words for it and there’s not a whole lot of “chapters.” I have it broken into … Continue reading Palladium – Chapter 1
