Learning

A day of walking, listening, writing, and reading. Now, sleep. Then I’ll do it all over again tomorrow, but it might require a little more coffee. Cheers.

Up, up, and away

Today is a day when I keep reminding myself that fear is excitement without the breath. I’m excited about my writing class tomorrow, but I don’t know what to expect. My story is done, but other than that, I know some heavy days are ahead of me. And while I’m looking forward to the learning, … Continue reading Up, up, and away

Storytelling experience

Sonic 3… went to see it today and I really enjoyed it. I’ve got quite a few movies on a list now that I need to sit down and analyze. The contradiction here is that I need to read more. Of course, that leads me down the rabbit hole of wanting to write more, paint … Continue reading Storytelling experience

Paint first?

I broke the rule I’ve been trying hard to follow the last 6 months or so… write first. Today, I painted first. I didn’t get to put another layer on last night, but I was still eager to do that. So I did it this morning. Here’s the result: It’s got a lot of nice … Continue reading Paint first?

Tortilla chips

It’s been a long day. Didn’t start out that way, but it turned so. I only got a few words written first thing this morning. So far, no painting. I did get another layer added last night and I might still get another layer added tonight. It would be nice, especially since I’ve had to … Continue reading Tortilla chips

Mistakes and no regrets

I made a mistake this morning. I don’t regret it, and it’ll probably be good in the days ahead, but still… I cooked myself breakfast. The recipe said like 30 minutes to make. It took me an hour and a half. Well, probably closer to two hours. I also made some salsa to go with … Continue reading Mistakes and no regrets

Finishing stories

I finished two short stories (one for my upcoming class, and one I had started last year) today. I was right to sit on my class story for one more day. There were some final touches I needed, some things my creative voice had wanted me to put in while I was working on the … Continue reading Finishing stories

Let’s get dancing

I spent time puttering around my kitchen tonight, making dinner, prepping some veggies for tomorrow night’s dinner, and making soup for lunches the next few day. That ran me out of time this evening. I was hoping to get some painting done tonight. I did find out that Merlin likes beets. Ya take the good … Continue reading Let’s get dancing

Interesting fact

I’m going to write a quick blog tonight because I’ve already written nearly 2,000 fiction words today and I really need to go do dishes. Ah, life. I also really need to write a quick newsletter. So much to do, so little time. Somehow, I must also stop going to bed later and later every … Continue reading Interesting fact

Leftovers and triggers

What a day. I started off needing to get a pepper to make a sauce I wanted to try with my enchiladas. I was just going to run out for the pepper and do more shopping tomorrow. Well, that’s why I thought until my brain interrupted. I ended up doing my shopping. What surprised me … Continue reading Leftovers and triggers
