The Vigil – coming soon

I’m not sure we got much more snow, but the wind certainly blew it around. Every time I stepped outside, the prior tracks had been smoothed over. But my tree stood strong, so I’m very happy. Since I’m staying in this weekend, I’m hoping to finish preparing my title for publication. I finished the real cover … Continue reading The Vigil – coming soon

Blizzard on the way, maybe

The weather predicts a blizzard tonight. The last time they warned of heavy snow like this, we only got two inches. The time we had 20″ overnight, no one saw it coming. I’m glad I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow. As long as we have snow but not wind, I’ll be good. Above is … Continue reading Blizzard on the way, maybe

The Vigil cover mockup

I mocked up the cover for the story I’m going to release this month. My initial idea wasn’t working well, so I had to revise. Now, I get to do it all over again for real this time. Unfortunately, I spent all my time this evening working on the mockup so I didn’t get to … Continue reading The Vigil cover mockup

Computers are not my thing today

I painted for a little bit tonight, but I stopped sooner than I normally would have. It just didn’t feel like a night to be painting. So, I have these ACEO’s in process: At this moment, I’m not sure either one of them will work. That’s why I had to stop. I just felt like … Continue reading Computers are not my thing today

Write mindset (ha!)

My motto for 2024 is “write first.” I’ve been living those words this evening. Almost. There were a couple things I needed to take care of first, but then once I was done with life stuff, I went to work on my words. That means I didn’t get painting done tonight, but I think that … Continue reading Write mindset (ha!)

Sunday progress

I got halfway through my current manuscript today. I don’t know why I thought it was so far away yesterday. It really wasn’t. Maybe I was asleep when I looked at the numbers. Or maybe it’s a sign that the story will be longer than I think it will be. A sign from my creative … Continue reading Sunday progress

Work in process and ACEOs

I’m nearing the halfway point of my newest manuscript and I keep hoping I’ll get there soon. I think part of this is a fear that I’m not at the halfway point but I’m wondering how long the story really is going be. I feel like I’m reaching a climax of the story. So how … Continue reading Work in process and ACEOs

A couple more ACEOs

The ACEO project is coming along well. Here’s a couple more: Cheers.

Turn the day

I did go to paint last night after I finished the blog. I did spend more than 15 minutes (it was 20 – grin!). That means that I win. I bettered my day. I got 4 ACEOs started. Here they are: It will be interesting what they become. Cheers.

What a bitter month

Well, we are at that point of January (already) where I remember why I hate January. Poor month. I wish I didn’t have to be so bitter toward it. But I don’t want to be stressed. I guess that means that I need to breathe instead. Oh, yes… breathe and feel the tension fall away. … Continue reading What a bitter month
