Dragging

So much for resetting today. I’m dragging pretty badly. I did get all my words in yesterday, but that meant I had to stay up longer. And it seemed like I kept coming up short. There is nothing worse than knowing you need 50 more words and being so tired that words are just hard. … Continue reading Dragging

The end

Those are words I don’t often write. Today, it feels kind of right. January is over. I’m looking forward to the rest of the year. At the moment, I don’t have energy to write more. I’m hoping I can get recharged by tomorrow. Maybe it’ll be warmer too. We’re in single digits right now. That … Continue reading The end

January is almost done

The picture above is one that I took. On my way into work this morning. While I do lovesunrises in the morning on a cool day, I am glad that January is almost done. January is not my favorite month. December is my second least favorite month. And for more reasons than just because they’re … Continue reading January is almost done

Snowy Sunday

Foirgive me if there’s typos tonight. Temmy is sleeping on my shoulder and I’m holding her in place, so typing with one hand. It snowed last night more than I thought it would. Here’s a couple picture. The first couple were taken without extra lighting because it was so bright. I didn’t even need my … Continue reading Snowy Sunday

Magical feat

Tonight, I am going to write my blog in less time than it takes to cook a pretzel. Yes, boys and girls, I have just put my pretzel in the oven to bake. And now, I write. Yes, it’s a little late for me to be eating a pretzel, but I had a light dinner … Continue reading Magical feat

Arlyn’s complication

Every time I think about Arlyn’s story, a little chill goes through me. Although, I do wonder if I’ve made a mistake. In reviewing what I know about Arlyn and trying to discover a good starting point, I realized that I have two small issues. The first is that Tangled Magic and Walk the Path … Continue reading Arlyn’s complication

Back to a backstory

I have a little secret. Well, I guess I won’t after this (grin!). One of my all-time favorite characters is Arlyn from my Sacred Knight series. If you haven’t read the series, he’s Steigan’s mentor. I won’t say anything more there. Arlyn started off as a very simple character just meant to start Steigan on … Continue reading Back to a backstory

Grapefruit

This time of year, I always start to crave grapefruit. I’ve fallen into a habit of getting some writing done and then sitting down to enjoy my grapefruit before I wind down for the evening. At least until a couple of days ago. I’ve been out of grapefruit for several days and I forgot to … Continue reading Grapefruit

Lean back, tip head down

Everything I’ve tried to write tonight has turned to mud in my hands (so to speak). I give up. So, I’m going to leave this here and get on with my evening. Instead of fighting the nature of the day which has left me feeling immobile, I’ll just lean into it. Cheers.

The height of clouds

The stars felt distant tonight. The air is cold, but not as crispy clean as usual. Granted, that could be the gagging smell of someone’s venting dryer. The scent always makes my throat close up and my eyes feel swollen. Whatever they (whoever they are in my neighborhood) use (whatever it is), they use too … Continue reading The height of clouds
