Time for covers

I’ve spent the day on updating books and covers today. I was reminded that I needed to get several ordered by Monday, and there is a lot of work to be done before I can make that order. So, a publishing day. Not what I had expected when I got up today, but okay, it … Continue reading Time for covers

Sacred Knight banter

For as tired as I was last night, I sure couldn’t get to sleep. I woke up this morning with Temmy storming back and forth around my head on the pillow and pulling my hair. Got to love that cat. I pulled her under the blankets with me and one minute later the alarm went … Continue reading Sacred Knight banter

File a tomato

While today hasn’t gone as planned, I did get in some good writing. I had just hoped to work on some painting too. I hate that I feel so torn between the two and that my days are leading me to choose, especially when they don’t go as I’d planned and I am forced to … Continue reading File a tomato

Sad little garden who can’t

My poor garden. It just hasn’t done very well this year, so that’s why I haven’t shared any pictures of it lately. Cauliflower was a fail. I won’t do that again. Broccoli, I’m hoping as the year cools down, my plants will decide to produce a little more. These plants just don’t like the heat, … Continue reading Sad little garden who can’t

The rock

I think at some point I mentioned a rock painting I was doing.

The horrible thing I did today

I wish I could say that today was as spiffy of a day as yesterday was. Don’t get me wrong. I still got a lot done, just not as much as I had hoped. And I had to give myself a couple of stern talks in order to do that. I did stay up a … Continue reading The horrible thing I did today

Who needs a Plan B?

Today’s been a good day. Not only did I get three chapters recorded, but I finished writing one short story and then wrote another. I had to get it done for class, and really didn’t think I’d get it done so I’d worked up a backup plan. Who needs a backup plan? (grin!) Thank goodness … Continue reading Who needs a Plan B?

Recording the audiobook

I did a strange thing for the farmers’ market this morning: I did an art only show. I’ve done books only before, but today I was handling the show alone and I didn’t want to lift that box of books. I had considered not going. I was feeling tired and thought I might go back … Continue reading Recording the audiobook

Conflicts

I thought I’d had a great day. I’d gotten audio editing and recording done. I attended meetings. I had two writing sessions. I doodled. And I got several new small paintings started. Yet, I feel like a fool. There’s times I just don’t know why I speak. Especially in a group. I know this is … Continue reading Conflicts

15 minutes became an hour

This evening, I decided to get a second session of writing in. After about 15 minutes I felt pretty good. I was glad I’d done it. I spent another 15 minutes writing, then thought I’d go get 15 minutes of painting in. I really meant to only spend 15 minutes, or at tops, 30 minutes … Continue reading 15 minutes became an hour
