• A snippet from my book

  November 18, 2024

  A snippet of my book. The Main characters are Del (Philadelphia Powers) and Frankie (Frances Krane). This is a snippet from Chapter 3: “Now we’re just boring old fuddy-duddies,” she said. “What?” I asked in mock indignation. “Not me! Who knows, I could still be in a movie! It’s never too late to ...

• Too Excited to write lol

  November 18, 2024

  I've gotten so much momentum going with my novel (think: a fun, feel-good escape—think The Golden Girls meets The Bucket List with a side of laugh-out-loud absurdity.) that I'm currently too excited to write this morning, lol. Sometimes this happens. I've only had this experience two other times,...

  I might want to work in car mittens into my novel. When my kids were little, one of them (all boys btw) stuck up his middle finger as our car passed this kid. apparently the other kid was a bully at school. So I told my kid "if you are going to be sticking up…

• Tired

  November 10, 2024

  The weekend has been a blur. I have no clear boundaries between work and relaxation anymore. I also haven't written one word on my book. I did, however, spend the evening sketching out a character for a picture book. I'm not 100% happy with my sketch but I will keep at it until I figure…

• Work Anxiety

  November 10, 2024

  I have so much anxiety about work right now. I'm sure things will settle down after this major project is done but meanwhile, I have such anxiety about these things. I wish I could afford to quit my job. Meanwhile I'm learning how to get better at illustrating. Who knows, maybe it will pay off.&h...

• Overwhelmed

  November 9, 2024

  I am overwhelmed by all my projects and ideas. I need to give my brain a break for the weekend and try not to work on any projects. This morning before I was out of bed I already had drawn another image for the coloring book I'm working on. I love Procreate! When I'd finally…
