New cover?

Today. Ah, today. It’s been a strange one. I’ve heard of troll attacks, but they’ve been far away. Music from the fair has been drifting through my windows. And I’ve been working on a new cover for Quest for the Three Books as if I need to do that. But that’s how I was moved … Continue reading New cover?

And the troll is back

I had so wished that the troll had moved on, but no, it was back today and swinging with a vengeance. I was feeling good, then took the hit. I clearly have too much attachment. So, I’m taking a moment. I might have to take a hard look and ask myself if I’d rather live … Continue reading And the troll is back

Troll’s away

I suspect the troll moved down the block. Thank goodness. Last night as I stepped outside with Merlin for his final trip before bed, there was a horrendous sound of a tree giving way and branches crashing. I didn’t hear any crunch of something breaking or shouts, but it scared me. I stood on my … Continue reading Troll’s away

Duck!

The troll has been out swinging its thick log branch today. I’ve just tried to dodge it as best as I could. But damn… The whole thing certainly makes me rethink my life. At the very least, it might be time to evacuate the castle. I think Merlin likes that idea. He’s sitting beside me, … Continue reading Duck!

The image in my head

I think the Greys are back. I woke this morning with the strangest image in my head and I can’t get it out. It’s a black and white pencil sketch of a thick lock of hair going through a band which resembles one of the rings from Lord of the Rings except with no elven … Continue reading The image in my head

Trolls, fairies, and gnomes have all come to play

I’ve had a day spent with the trolls in my head. At least I got writing done before they came knocking at my door. I tried to pretend that I was asleep, but they wouldn’t go away. Then, to make matters worse, the fairies and the gnomes came to give me conflicting advice about what … Continue reading Trolls, fairies, and gnomes have all come to play

Lunch and a show

After this week, I thought lunch out and a show were in order. No gnomes, no gremlins, no fairies. Surprisingly, none tagged along either. There was a bit of time issues beforehand which threatened to ruin the plans, but I think that was Loki pushing me along to foil the little monsters that have plagued … Continue reading Lunch and a show

Dancing out of the trap

No tiger traps tonight. A bear trap tried to snag me today, but I was too deft for it. Oh, yeah! You think that bear trap was going to get me? Oh, not today! I’ll probably regret that later. I’ve been working on a new cover for the upcoming 10th novella. I know. I just … Continue reading Dancing out of the trap

Tiger trap

It’s a Siberian tiger trap today. I’m stuck in a hole and if I don’t write this, my blog won’t get done today. So here it is. (Grin) What a week this has been. Thank goodness it’s nearly over. So glad I had a chance to write this morning before this afternoon hit. Yep, one … Continue reading Tiger trap

When I find something that bothers me

Every now and again, I hear the little patter of feet behind me. But when I turn to look, there’s nothing there. I’m probably just being paranoid about the sneak attack made earlier this week. The universe knows that I’ve switched over to thinking about Loki’s Kickstarter and it wants to either inspire me or … Continue reading When I find something that bothers me
