Vast space and garden space

I took a moment to go out and see the comet last night. At first, I saw nothing. It’s easy to miss. Then, I saw this streak in the sky which looked like a thin cloud and I did a double-take. That was the comet. It’s an amazing thing when one moment you see nothing, … Continue reading Vast space and garden space

Third floor library

I think I came up with the title for Arlyn’s book, or at least some ideas that I’ll play with. I did also have to draw out what I thought the three levels of the Temple in New Lilinar looks like. And though I’ve said I wouldn’t talk about my work-in-process, I will say that … Continue reading Third floor library

Surprise recording day

I finished recording Beat of the Drum today. Woo hoo! It’s not typical for me to record on weekdays unless it’s Friday. But, I just couldn’t leave that one little chapter hanging out there. It was driving me crazy. So, I warmed up the booth and got to it. I then tried to start recording … Continue reading Surprise recording day

Self-care took priority

First, I didn’t write last night like I thought I would. I decided I was just to write and so I went to bed. Tried reading for a bit, but I kept nodding off. So, just to sleep. Glad I didn’t try to write. It probably wouldn’t have been any good since I had no … Continue reading Self-care took priority

Magical Harvest Fest

Aside from some technical difficulties, the Magical Harvest Festival was fun and busy. A little too busy, but I was glad to have help. I did have an order where I took a customer’s address in my phone so I could complete an order, but something happened (I suspect there was a save button I … Continue reading Magical Harvest Fest

Are you waiting for prints?

If you purchased the Loki series from me out at the Magical Harvest Fest and are waiting for prints, please send me an email at dawn@dawnblair.net. My app not only didn’t have connection, but didn’t save your information either! Technology — great until that moment it fails. Thank you!

World domination plan underway

Last night, I set myself up a schedule for today because I knew I’d forget something if I didn’t. The day started out well, then I got distracted and went ahead and changed my plans. Went sideways from there. Yep, what else did you expect? I did finish up my magnets for tomorrow. I nearly … Continue reading World domination plan underway

Fall comes and so do the spiders

My neighbor working outside reminded me the other day that fall cleanup is coming. Sigh. At least, one bright side is that I won’t have as many leaves to rake up this year with my big maple gone (R.I.P. *crying* – but also *cheering* — I have so many mixed emotions about that still even … Continue reading Fall comes and so do the spiders

A painted wagon

I love it when strange things happen. So, as I said yesterday, I had set a word goal to hit and came in just under it. Today, I set myself the same 1,200 word goal to hit. Today, I came in just a little bit over. However, and here’s the fun part, between the two … Continue reading A painted wagon

Progress and short goals

I sat down with a goal today of writing 1,200 words. I came in just under that goal at 1,130 words. I could have kept going, but I had to get onto other things. I’m trying to stick to my schedule. Not bad considering I was late getting up this morning, took care of my … Continue reading Progress and short goals
