A little off

My oldest son wanted to go to Boise to see Return of the Jedi in the movie theater yesterday, so we went. It was a pleasant trip. The only problem was that we didn’t get home until late and I was all out of my groove. It took me a while to wind down and … Continue reading A little off

Trip

I just got back from a day trip to Boise. Lots of fun with my family. But now I’m tired, so that’s all for today. Cheers!

Even my fingers hurt

My body is tired. I started the day by going to a water aerobics class a friend teaches. I haven’t gone since pre-Covid. Let’s just say that my body remembered the movements, but it was not happy. “What do you think we’re doing? We haven’t worked out like this in several years. You’re so out … Continue reading Even my fingers hurt

It was just a couple of touch-ups, I swear

I’m not sure what happened to the evening, but I’m pretty sure it evaporated when I went to make a couple touch-ups on the interior of Give Up the Ghost. It was just supposed to be a couple changes, making sure that pages would go to the proper pages when I generated the print book. … Continue reading It was just a couple of touch-ups, I swear

Free Fiction Day – Give Up the Ghost

For a lot of my early life, I wanted to be an archeologist. Well, more than an archeologist. I wanted to be an Egyptologist. Yes, I wanted to go find secret mummies. I think I let my father convince me that there were no more good mysteries on this planet to go exploring. Bummer. I … Continue reading Free Fiction Day – Give Up the Ghost

Missing pieces

Gohaldinest is my city in Tangled Magic and Walk the Path. I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently. In Arlyn’s time, Gohaldinest is supposed to be a myth, and yet I find myself making coy references to it in Arlyn’s story. In a way, it’s frustrating me. I feel like there’s more to this … Continue reading Missing pieces

Raising a glass for Cupid

Again, I am feeling the negative effects of not structuring my time better. I’ve been working on several things tonight: a show application, writing up a blurb for my new short story, and doing some keyword research. Now I’m waiting for I’m with Cupid to update on KDP. It’s taking forever. I think I might … Continue reading Raising a glass for Cupid

Awareness

I took a look today at how far behind I have gotten with my publishing. I have several short stories out that are only in electronic (and some in audio too) form. I also have a whole bunch that need to either be out “in the mail” submitting for magazines or published. That doesn’t even … Continue reading Awareness

The hat is off

Third time starting this post tonight. I’m tired and my brain has surrendered already (grin). The Jerome Music Booster Spring Craft Show was fun. I adore that I get to visit with so many people that I generally see at this show, both show-goers and vendors. But it exhausts me. Once I take off the … Continue reading The hat is off

The joke is once again on me

So here I was last night all writing about the digital timer and how it made me more productive. Then today, after I was getting ready for this weekend’s show, I sat down to write. I turned the timer on and began writing. Then I remembered I had to do something. I got up to … Continue reading The joke is once again on me
