Pondering more! and writing stuff.
I posted a 'lite' version of this on Facebook, but expand here because the audience there has a lot of my Siberian Husky friends who aren't interested in writing. Just dogs ( Read more... ) -
Pondering...
Will this place pick up a bit now that Tumblr has shot itself in the foot?
I start to write stuff here but then end up deleting it because no one is really around to read.
Also found on Dreamwidth. I'll answer here though despite the damn Russians. -
Current State of Me and Mine!
My son's birthday is Sunday - he will be 26. My daughter's next birthday she will be 28. No. 29. OH MY STARS 29? LOL. Both are doing amazing - they both have wonderful partners, and my son's gf's little sis lives with them - and she is adorable ( she is 15 and the best). All of them have jobs that are going very well - Tiff especially - and ( Read more... ) -
And so it is done.
It has taken me three years, and in 2017 almost a complete rewrite of the first half, but I have finally finished my beast of an epic fantasy, and on Christmas Eve no less.
I cried. Really. Sat in my chair in disbelief, and cried. I wrote about 6k on Christmas Eve to finish it, was exhausted and emotional and it probably is a little bit sappy as a ( Read more... ) -
It's been such a long time...
I never write on here except for my GWYO group, mostly writing all my writerly thoughts on Facebook anymore. I have more of a sense of people out there than I do here or LJ - gosh I miss the good ol' days over there. Good things always seem to come to some sort of end, and that is true of LJ pretty much. Also true of my publisher, Loose-Id, who ( Read more... ) -
Skyrim
I always feared games like this, as I feared it would derail my writing. But out of desperation and a true need to get away from politics and all the awful going on these days, I decided to play Skyrim, which I always enjoyed watching my son play, and really - I was desperate for some distraction ( Read more... ) -
Writing and Separate Creativity. And fish.
Separate creativity - aka working on other kinds of creative endeavors separate from writing. I am positive this has been lacking in my life. I have been struggling to find peace and quiet in my mind, aka the ability to zone out, and it finally clicked in my head that most all the writers I know do other things as well that capture other areas of ( Read more... ) -
The Magical Knowledge of Knitters
Yesterday I attended a crafting afternoon I'd been invited to, even though I am not a crafter. Not sure what I would do with myself for several hours among strangers (though one person who would be there I've known for years, and used to write-in with), I grabbed my old, original notebooks for my story, thinking I could at the very least spend some ( Read more... ) -
On Reaching Goals
This has been a strange writing year. I wrote Tons and Tons the first couple of months, then hit a wall when I finally accepted my YA fantasy was not YA, but was in fact just one character who's storyline belonged with my old epic fantasy. So the next two months were spent weaving those two stories together. I finally accomplished that at end of ( Read more... ) -
Monday (long) Update - Week of June 12, 2017
I can't believe it has been April since I posted. May was a busy flurry both personally and at home, with way too much going on at the office, and my house finally getting worked on and finished. Only took 26 months to finally have my house completely repaired after our double hail storms of terror and doom. But it is finally done so I can look ( Read more... )
