Believable question

Do I really want to read my Mercedes Lackey book that badly, or has all my energy really been that sucked out of me today? This is the question I’ve been wrestling with today. Okay, no wrestling. I am far too tired for that. But certainly thinking about. That I can do. (grin) Yes, I … Continue reading Believable question

Outing

The kids and I had an adventure today. We picked up sandwiches and went to a park to eat them while a very well-fed gull stared at us with his begging, beady eyes. Then we walked around an outdoor mall for a bit before heading over to watch Dune. It was the first time my … Continue reading Outing

A wish

Last few days of the Kickstarter. I’d love to write a longer blog tonight, but I’m feeling a bit subdued this evening. May you be filled with happiness and life, and have a joyful weekend. Cheers.

Shuffling the day

Last night, I decided to write my blog first and then go paint. It was, in my opinion, very success. I didn’t feel rushed to get painting done and just took my time. I’m doing the same thing tonight, except that today I’ve gotten no fiction words done. Bad me decided to write a newsletter … Continue reading Shuffling the day

Mindset revisited

After writing last night’s blog and realizing how stressed I was (and knowing it wasn’t good for me), I just kept asking myself what I could do about the situation. I felt completely incompetent and out of my league. I wondered if this was what made people jump out of 50-story buildings. I was about … Continue reading Mindset revisited

Feeling resistance

Another ACEO was finished today. I admit that I had to make the choice to paint and it was hard today. I don’t know what it’s been about today, but I feel beaten and abused. I was in no mood to be creative. Okay, I really wanted to cry and then go read. Life just … Continue reading Feeling resistance

Slow course

I did it. I stayed up too late last night, knowing I had to get up early this morning even, and finished getting myself over my weekly word goal. I kept that streak going. Also, the Kickstarter funded a couple days ago, so that’s fun. Since there aren’t that many backers on it right now, … Continue reading Slow course

Planning the day

I started to use Tiimo again for the first time in a few weeks. There was so much I wanted to get done that I’m glad I took a moment this morning to get the day set up. I don’t think I would have gotten as much done if I hadn’t. My one regret is … Continue reading Planning the day

Write first interrupted

My motto was interrupted this morning (okay, it was flat out broken for the moment because I haven’t written any fiction yet today). Last night, if you noticed the last line of my blog, I said something about Temmy driving me crazy. She’d been a very bad cat all day long. More horrendous than usual. … Continue reading Write first interrupted

97% Funded

I woke up this morning to find my Kickstarter campaign nearly funded. I find myself thrilled and scared. Now I’ve got to get to painting all those cards. I’m reminding myself to be kind to me because I’m coming out of January and I feel painfully behind, not only with work, but with life and … Continue reading 97% Funded
