“Garbage”
Sizzling asphalt
stales the stench over the street;
sweet midsummer days.

I'm a fantasy author and blogger. I like to write about the creative process, music, movies, books, and my weekly haiku series, "Haiku Sunday"
July Write Day: Finding A New Routine
After two+ weeks at my new job, June has flown by. Finding time to write, work out, spend time with the baby, and do all the other things I want to do is harder than ever, but I think I’m doing alright. Continue reading “July Write Day: Finding A New Routine”
#AmConsuming: A Sudden Dearth of Consuming Time
June has been a tough month for my consumption of various media. I started my new job two weeks ago, and I’ve spent most of that time trying to hone my daily routine.
That means things like binge-watching Netflix or Hulu and even reading–unfortunately–have fallen by the wayside for now. But I’ve still managed to check some things off my list. Continue reading “#AmConsuming: A Sudden Dearth of Consuming Time”
Haiku Sunday – Neat
“Neat”
Edged with brick and mulch,
vegetable plots, flower pots.
Clean geometry.

Following that Narrative Thought
My writing pace has slowed down a bit in recent days, and for once, I don’t mean in pure word count.
Maybe a week ago I completed a longer chapter centered on one’s character’s POV. I knew how I wanted the chapter to go, it just took a lot of writing time and words to get there.
I’ve since moved on to the next chapter with my favorite character–Arden–and I think my writing style has shifted a bit. Continue reading “Following that Narrative Thought”
Haiku Sunday – Sediment
“Sediment”
Varied stone layers
make the ground appear all too
sedimentary.

Adventures in Landscaping: Patio Progress!
Time for another landscaping update, and after only a week this time. A new record!
With help from my father-in-law, we actually made some surprising progress on the patio last weekend.
Haiku Tuesday – Routine
“Routine”
New occupation
to occupy the daily.
Day planner needed.
I started my new job yesterday, which means I’m readjusting to a full-time work schedule with a baby schedule to keep up with. Thus, I left myself no time for writing. Trying again tonight!
