Mind(set) overwhelm

Got myself into a state of overwhelm today. Doing much better now. I think. Ha, it was my brain that pushed me into the overwhelm — it wasn’t real — and now I think I’m better. Brain/think. Yeah, I’m laughing. Anyway, before that, I did manage to get some audio editing done. I forget how … Continue reading Mind(set) overwhelm

Goldilocks

My son helped me put up a new blind in my writing space. I’m so excited. It’ll be nice to open it after the morning sun has climbed to afternoon and just let a little more light in the area. Afterwards, we tried to go for ramen. We’re very sure that the ramen place was … Continue reading Goldilocks

Play, dinner, and playing cat

The family and I went to Pocatello today to see The Lightning Thief put on by the ISU Theater Department. Good show. Then, dinner at Butterburr’s. Now, because Temmy slept all day, she’s being a little terror kitty wanting to play. Meanwhile, my youngest son and I are trying to chill out and watch a … Continue reading Play, dinner, and playing cat

Not writing fast enough

I have done a lot of running around today, cooking for Merlin, cooking for myself, and laundry. Real exciting life, I know. (grin) I did sit down and get to some writing. Surprisingly, I started work on a book that is a side character from Siva’s story, Wings to a New World. I’ve been thinking … Continue reading Not writing fast enough

Stepping stones

I feel like publishing is coming along very well now that I have a framework structure. Just a couple days ago, it felt so hard and wrong, but I knew I had to stay with that energy because I needed to work through it and not avoid it. The energy, the thoughts, the emotions weren’t … Continue reading Stepping stones

Wings to a New World cover reveal

Worked on a cover today. The book that was once called “Siva’s book” now has a title, Wings to a New World. Here’s a look at the cover: I have changed my mind on this book a few times and on a lot of different things, but I think it’s finally starting to come together. … Continue reading Wings to a New World cover reveal

Spirals

I tricked myself into writing tonight. I said I was just going to spend ten minutes writing, but I ended up doing an hour. Shh, don’t tell anyone. I’m really surprised actually. I didn’t think I was going to get any words done for a while there. I was really trying to avoid it. I’ve … Continue reading Spirals

An abnormal week

I’m allowing for this week to be strange. This is not going to be my standard, structured week. Umm… has it ever been? Yes, okay. I do have a little bit of a structure. But this is one of the weeks that I must conform back to the rest of society from the abnormal schedule … Continue reading An abnormal week

Don’t let your future be denied

Whenever someone asks how I began an artist, I often tell them a story about how my kindergarten teacher teased me about my coloring (true — I mean seriously, who tells a 5-year old that they are coloring wrong?) and that my fifth grade teacher stopped beside my desk one day, put her hand on … Continue reading Don’t let your future be denied

Search for life

It’s been a busy day, but I’ve been dealing with real life again. Now I want to go get some writing done. I’ll need to if I’m going to get any substantial words done tonight. Oh, life. I didn’t get much of a chance to write last night. I couldn’t stop looking for the paper … Continue reading Search for life
