Make 100 ACEOs

I did choose to go and paint one more card last night so I finished those 4 linear inches that I needed. It felt good to mark that as a win. And now I have nearly 20 of these 2.5″x 3/5″ cards finished for my epic project: the Make 100 ACEOs Kickstarter. It is ready … Continue reading Make 100 ACEOs

If only I had 4 linear inches more

I’m trying to find the strength tonight. I got my fiction words finished for the week early today. Tonight I needed to do a few more ACEO cards. I had a goal of getting 5 done this week. I’ve done those, but that actually leaves me 4 linear inches short of getting to my weekly … Continue reading If only I had 4 linear inches more

5 more minutes, Ma

It’s been more than a month, but I finally got to have some time with the family today. Woo hoo! I didn’t get much writing or painting done because I was working and having family time, but I did manage to squeeze in a few words. I’m tired because I stayed up with my son … Continue reading 5 more minutes, Ma

Plans or other plans

I think I’m playing Battleship with the universe. Every time I make a plan, She sends out a hit that blows me out of the water. (grin) Short blog tonight because my day has completely changed from what I thought it would be when I got out of bed this morning. Correction: my whole weekend … Continue reading Plans or other plans

Distractions

I am distract-o-girl today. Especially this evening. But, I did get my words done. There’s a lot of other things I should have been doing too, but no, I was focusing on three billion things that weren’t as important. Okay, some of them were. Cleaning out my purse, probably necessary, but not important. Except at … Continue reading Distractions

Snow, writing, and warm kitty

Three inches of new snow this morning. So much for all my shoveling on Sunday. And I had to go out and play on the roads today. When I finally got home, where I had to dodge several people stuck in the snow, I was too tired to deal with anything else today. I re-shoveled … Continue reading Snow, writing, and warm kitty

Short and cold

The cold temperatures have me a little down today. I’m just trying to stay warm. I haven’t gotten much done, but the weather is supposed to get warmer in the next few days. I’m hoping I won’t be hunkered down for much longer. Cheers.

Power out

Over the weekend when we were to have blizzard weather (and finally did), the little voice kept telling me to keep my laptops charged so that if the power went out, I could still get some writing, publishing, or drawing done. The power never went out, so I felt like I was doing this for … Continue reading Power out

Digging out

I feel as if the blizzard came in last night. It was really coming down as I took Merlin out for the final time last night. This morning when I opened my front door, there was two inches of snow against my screen door. Here’s the look out over my yard. I couldn’t see where … Continue reading Digging out

The Vigil – now available on website

The Vigil is now posted to my website. For a limited time, it’s available for $1.99 to buyers in the U.S. I’m trying to figure out how best to sell ebooks and audiobooks to people internationally, but I haven’t gotten it figured out quite yet. I’m finding out that I might have set my website … Continue reading The Vigil – now available on website
