I had that one really great writing day last week and then it all dried up. When I say "dried up," I don't mean that no words came to mind...not exactly. I was just too cranky to find the words and let them out. It started with a migraine that wouldn't go away. I woke … Continue reading Rough Week

Day Five of Nanowrimo
Despite my lack of planning on my official nano piece, things are going well. Since I am using Lady Air Pirates (the new story) to bribe myself to work on Caro's Quest (the older story I am supposed to be finishing this month) I am, in effect, doing a double nanowrimo this month. The whole … Continue reading Day Five of Nanowrimo
NaNoWriMo 2020
Another year, another NaNoWriMo. I prepped all October to finish up the rewrite for last year’s Nano novel (Caro's Quest) but then there’s been this other story this last week (Lady Air Pirates steampunk thing) that I cannot get out of my head, so I changed courses this morning and started on that instead. I’m … Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020
VoG: Creativity Doll and Inner Editor Monster Doll
Today (or whichever day I am currently on that may or may not be the right day - it's hard to keep track with the group calendar changing) we were supposed to make two different kinds of dolls: one a Creativity Doll and one an Inner Editor Monster Doll. I have a lot of random … Continue reading VoG: Creativity Doll and Inner Editor Monster Doll
Treasure Map
The last collage style thing we were supposed to do this week was make a treasure map of what we wanted our future to look like. I made mine a "From Here to There" style map. I know y'all are all laughing at the bottom middle one, but it's the hardest thing to do for … Continue reading Treasure Map
Another Day, Another Collage
I had to go out and purchase more magazines. I tried a couple local thrift shops and in one I found National Geographics from the early 80's, which was perfect because these next couple collages were supposed to be things from Birth-Age 5 and Ages 6-10. Even more perfect: one had a whole section on … Continue reading Another Day, Another Collage
Grab Bag Collage
Another Vein of Gold post. Sorry, it is eating my brain lately, so it's what you get to see. Here we were supposed work as fast as we could, grabbing thirty or so images that struck us from magazines, and make a collage without overthinking it. Overthinking it. Hahahaha. Well, I hit a couple walls … Continue reading Grab Bag Collage
Vein of Gold conundrum
I've been doing mine longhand, but it's about killing my hand after three pages in the morning. Today's task has us writing a personal narrative and I've had to write another six handwritten pages in the afternoon. Our class calendar gives us three days to do 10-15,000 words of a personal narrative and I just … Continue reading Vein of Gold conundrum
My Vein of Gold Setup
My cute little notebook for Vein of Gold writing prompts. I'll do all of my Vein of Gold writing here and leave my regular daily notebook for other tasks.
The Vein of Gold
Before I knew I was going to be running behind on my BYOB project, I'd already signed up for this writing class/workshop/book discussion group covering Julia Cameron's The Vein of Gold. I have done a book by Julia Cameron before, many many years ago, called The Artist's Way, and then several years ago, I also … Continue reading The Vein of Gold
