Assignments!

Went to breakfast with the kids today. While that was fun, by the time I got home and got my bike and rack off the car, I was hot and tired. I still had painting to do, since I’d scheduled time to paint this afternoon, plus I had assignments for both my classes. Yep, I … Continue reading Assignments!

No matter what I want

I’ve been working on Arlyn’s story today. There is so much. Clearly I need to simplify it down even more than I have. Or at least I need to simplify this and save more for other books. I read every passage mentioning the Onim in the Sacred Knight series today while I looked for nuggets … Continue reading No matter what I want

Upcoming for August

Reminder that I will be out at the Jerome Farmers Market tomorrow. It should be a cooler day that the last couple of weeks, so it’ll be a great day to get out. Heck, for an August, it’ll seem downright cool out there! Usually we’re having the hot weather we had a couple weeks ago. … Continue reading Upcoming for August

Once again in real life

I’m a bit on overload right now. I had to go to an event today, which was followed by dinner and a movie. The event wasn’t too bad, and it was nice to have dinner with friends. Still, for me, that was a bit much because I had to be “on” in a way that … Continue reading Once again in real life

Strange workings of the mind

Last night as I was getting ready for sleep, I thought of three things that would be fun to blog about. Tonight, none of them sound interesting. That’s not to say that in the future I won’t write about them, but just not tonight. Fun how the mind works that way. Then, as I closed … Continue reading Strange workings of the mind

Another legendary

Last weekend, I was talking to a couple different people about how The Tales of Quanst the Mouse is a collection of short stories based on a legendary figure in the Sacred Knight world. There are two others mentioned in Manifest the Magic: Kipsa of the Lightning and Bjarn the Fierce. While having these conversations, … Continue reading Another legendary

Internet down

I’m writing a quick blog right now. I’m hoping it makes it through to the world. My home Internet appears to be down (or barely functioning) and my cell phone is hardly connecting through too. It keeps switching back and forth from lite to 5G. So, may this get out so that I can keep … Continue reading Internet down

Strange clouds

Today I looked at clouds. They were quite interesting actually. I love looking at the sky, whether it be blue, filled with stars, or even stormy (as long as it’s not just solid grey — that’s no fun, though it is very rare not to see some color differentiations). But today, the clouds looked as … Continue reading Strange clouds

A day of heat

Today wore me out. First was the farmers market. Then my car went in for an oil change. My son drove me on a couple errands and we walked around the mall. Once my car was done, I went shopping and had to go to two more stores. It made for a long day in … Continue reading A day of heat

Garden Update

I made a harvest of spinach yesterday. That’s the picture above. I also cut a couple stalks of celery. Last night, I made myself a pretty good salad. I don’t know if I’ll have much more spinach. I’m losing it to the heat. Next year, I think I’ll try something a little different if I … Continue reading Garden Update
