Purple and Blue

I’m not feeling too inspired with my writing lately. I thought once the kids were in school I’d get right back to it, but instead I’m tired and all of my thoughts keep jumping off of cliffs. So I’ve been knitting. I single crocheted the seams together (because I hate sewing). This means the seamsContinue reading “Purple and Blue”

No, I Don’t Have a Problem

I just came home with these books from Target. I’m apparently trying to reconnect with my love of poetry as well as my love of horror. Watering the Soul had me tearing up at the store. It’s beautiful. Heartstopper is something entirely different and my kids are reading them as well, so… And yes, theseContinue reading “No, I Don’t Have a Problem”

Getting Reacquainted

I spent most of the day reading Bloody Bones, trying to speed through without missing anything. My friend who introduced me to the series just sent me a fan picture Laurell K. Hamilton shared online. I’m so happy to have someone to geek out with. I keep thinking of this friend as I’m reading. BesidesContinue reading “Getting Reacquainted”

I Need More Shelves

I wasn’t going to buy so many books this Summer. I was supposed to focus on what I already own, because I really want to read them all. I’ve mentioned before that I’m finding my way back to enjoying horror again. I think having young kids and being on my own a lot kept meContinue reading “I Need More Shelves”

I’m Still Knitting

I’m slowly making my way through this project. I lost my tally sheet at some point, but it was pretty easy to figure out where I was. It’s still relaxing, but with all the handwriting I’ve been doing, and my job as a massage therapist, I’ve had to be careful how much time I spendContinue reading “I’m Still Knitting”

Space

So, the problem isn’t that I’ve been watching too many sappy, heartwarming romances. I mean, I am writing a romance. It’s my kids. No. Not them specifically. The lack of uninterrupted time. I don’t want to keep lurching along with my story. It’s getting really choppy. But school starts soon and I’ll have more timeContinue reading “Space”

Setting the Mood

I’m slowly making my way through this difficult bit. It’ll need a lot of revision, but I can do that after I get a lot farther along. When the exact feel of what’s happening is clearer for me. Part of my issue, I’m sad to say, is that I’ve been watching Heartstopper too much. It’sContinue reading “Setting the Mood”

Procrastination!

I’m going to work on it tonight. I swear. I have just been working up to it. I don’t really want to have to write this scene, but it has to happen. Even trying to explain it makes me feel queasy. I did have to do a bit more research for it, which led toContinue reading “Procrastination!”

I’m a Dork for Heartstopper

I’ll happily admit it. I love this series so much. The sweetness. The emotions. The representation. I’m so happy about the representation. My kids found the graphic novels first and devoured them. Repeatedly. I was hesitant to let them watch the show because of the rating, but they were so adamant. So, we sat downContinue reading “I’m a Dork for Heartstopper”

Organizing my Story

I’ve taken to sitting on my porch when writing. I live in a very quiet neighborhood and what noise I do hear is soothing. Comforting. The weather was perfect for it the other day. Mildly threatening clouds with a cold, clean breeze. Today the air is thick of irritants. I’m trying to delicately balance theContinue reading “Organizing my Story”
