My old tree

“Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.” – Seneca My maple tree, complete with the bird house that the squirrels have enlarged the hole so that they can make it their home and the broken butterfly ornament. Broken when I moved into the house, but still remains tightly nailed … Continue reading My old tree

Aftermath

I’m feeling better today. Woo hoo. After I finished last night, I was feeling so terrible that I nearly used a Covid test to find out if I was that sick. I decided that I usually start feeling unwellness in my body long before it takes a solid hold, I divided not to rest until … Continue reading Aftermath

Achy, but not breaky

I got in the booth today to start recording the next book. Right now, I’ve picked Dragons of Wellsdeep. I’ve obviously been stressed lately because I have several canker sores in my mouth. Dang things. I’ve been getting them since I was a kid. My father had them often too; it’s got to be hereditary. … Continue reading Achy, but not breaky

In the booth and out

I finished recording Help Wanted, Call Loki this evening, and in the time that it took me to narrate those last three chapters, it snowed about two inches. It certainly shocked Merlin and myself when I took him outside. It’s been snowing all evening now, but I hadn’t looked out to see how much has … Continue reading In the booth and out

Controlling my energy

I had another good writing day, plus I got in the booth and recorded two more chapters. I only have 3 more chapters to record for Help Wanted, Call Loki before I’m done. The day almost didn’t start out good though. I woke up and started thinking thoughts that should have brought me down. As … Continue reading Controlling my energy

A day of writing and reading

I started off so well this morning with Arlyn’s story. In about an hour and a half, I wrote over 1,200 words. Then I crashed. I should have quit then, let the cats’ sleep energy take me over, but I kept trying to write. In the next three hours, I wrote about 500 words. Okay, … Continue reading A day of writing and reading

Not in it today

I was bad and sat in one place for too long this afternoon. It ended up giving me a headache which kept me from writing this evening. I got some words done, but not nearly as much as I’d like. It never is though. (grin) Tomorrow is another day. Cheers.

Special scenes

I am just speeding along with Arlyn’s story. It is going utterly fantastic right now. Of course, I am in the first third of the story and still working on the setup. I’m trying to ignore the critical voice telling me that I’ll slow down once I start to worry about where the story is … Continue reading Special scenes

Sissy fight

I finished dealing with the cell phone madness today. I swear, all the companies fight with each other like sissies just slapping at each other. None of them play well together and the whole thing is a stupid game. If I was a maker of a cell phone, it would piss me off. Fortunately, we … Continue reading Sissy fight

The creative voice strikes again

I got far enough into Arlyn’s story today that I had to make a hard decision. I had three choices about how this would go. I knew it would be one character, or another, or neither. So which is it? Well, I won’t say here so that there aren’t spoilers. But I will say that … Continue reading The creative voice strikes again
