More failing forward

I had a goal of getting of my ACEO artist cards done each week in March. 40 cards. That was a good goal. Even if I didn’t reach it, I would fail forward. Well, I didn’t reach my goal. I failed forward. I finished 26 cards, and I got beyond 50 done. I’m actually at … Continue reading More failing forward

Writing notes

I’m not too far into my current manuscript, but already I’m getting itchy to start to start my next project. I suppose that’s a good thing. It keeps me looking forward and excited to begin another story. I updated my story notes for my current work in progress today, and I also took up the … Continue reading Writing notes

Big differences

Brain versus mind. Do you think these words are the same, or do you sense a difference? Can you define that difference? I’ve been paying attention to several words lately. Tonight, brain and mind were brought to my attention in paying attention to the world around me. Yesterday, the words were fun and play. For … Continue reading Big differences

Insights

Many new thoughts today. Several breakthroughs. I feel so lucky that I’m able to get coaching on my mindset and give me insights. Not all of them are lovely and fluffy revelations. No, there’s some ugly, nasty paradigms which have lead me to decisions which haven’t been healthy or beneficial for me. Of course, what … Continue reading Insights

When I should be scribbling

I should be scribbling tonight. I’ve experienced the range of humanity today. I’ve deleted several blog attempts. I wrote a poem when words flowed to me, but I didn’t feel it appropriate to put it out. Maybe tomorrow night I’ll have some scribbles to show. Cheers.

Night off

I’m doing both of us a kindness tonight and I’m going to take it off. Putting this up to keep my streak. Have a great day! Cheers.

Branches and crystals

I’ve had a lot of branches entering my ACEOs recently. Last night, I wanted to shake it up a bit, but tonight, I couldn’t remember that I had a different plan for this one start. I’d fully intended for it to have a stand of crystal. When I started it tonight, I had branches going. … Continue reading Branches and crystals

If only I could have another day like today

My alarm was going off this morning and I couldn’t get the screen to turn on so I could shut it off. Worse, my hand was asleep so I couldn’t even feel my taps against the screen. Fortunately, my day went up from there. I spent the morning writing. Went for a walk, then a … Continue reading If only I could have another day like today

Call of the spring morning light

I made my way into my writing “office” today. I never closed it down for winter last year; I decided I was probably just fooling myself that it was helping to keep the rest of the house warm and I think I was right. The problem was that after I’d opened it up last spring, … Continue reading Call of the spring morning light

It happened again

Three more ACEOs finished tonight which puts me nearly halfway through my artist card Kickstarter campaign. It’s not quite what I had thought it would be when I started the project. I’ll talk more about it, I’m sure, but it’s very late again tonight. I’ve been staying up far too late and shorting myself on … Continue reading It happened again
