Well, some things worked

I would have preferred to write more today, but my mind wasn’t having it. I ousted 3,000 words because the story I was working on just wasn’t working. It was time to redraft and get back to having fun with the story. But my brain still wasn’t interested in writing today. I went to paint. … Continue reading Well, some things worked

Sketches today

Some silly sketches I did today:

It’s here.

Beat of the Drum officially came out today. Onto the next book. Woo hoo! Cheers.

Old cars

Strangely enough, my creativity coach asked me today to think about things that need to fall away. At the moment, I didn’t think about the old cars I mentioned in my post a couple of days ago, but I did after the session. Truly it must be something I’m to focus on this week. Life … Continue reading Old cars

Business

Been taking care of business today. Merlin went right to the vet today. They are going to remove some lumps from him. I hope it makes him feel better. Then I came home and started preparing his next few days worth of food. He’ll be so excited. I needed to get my update off for … Continue reading Business

Balance when you’re asleep standing up

Today was certainly a lesson in “balance of all things.” It started out that my dentist decided to cancel my root canal because my tooth is no longer hurting. It could flare up at any moment, but hopefully not for a very, very long time. So, I was in and out of the dentist office … Continue reading Balance when you’re asleep standing up

Reflections of life

My creativity coach has me doing an assignment now about what thoughts I will have in the future. Okay, let me just say that I have no idea what future Dawn will think. This assignment has me completely stopped up. It’s a bit frustrating. I’m just at a point where I’m starting to feel energy … Continue reading Reflections of life

Writing and baking

My food plan for this week shifted a bit when I found an eggplant in the discount veggie bin at the store. I got it and a butternut squash for $1. I couldn’t pass that deal up. But since I had nothing in mind to do with the eggplant, I had to find something. Fortunately, … Continue reading Writing and baking

Funky chicken

It was weird cooking chicken in my house today. I love chicken cooked in my pressure cooker. But today, I was torn between loving the smell and wanting to eat it and just feeling weird about it. I needed to make it up for Merlin’s food. Tonight was his first truly all homecooked meal and … Continue reading Funky chicken

Calm day

I had a great jackfruit taco at the place where the kiddos and I went to day. I’d scheduled the car repair appointment late enough in the morning that I had some time to get some writing done before I left. I can be taught! I’ve gotten more planning done and even started gathering possible … Continue reading Calm day
