Black Bear Art

I loved this photo I took of the black bear at Cameron Park Zoo, but I never liked the background. I usually didn’t capture one this good of him. He’s showing his backside or not visible, etc, so I really wanted to do something more with him.

Okay, so I managed 3,000 words yesterday on Highland Wolf. I’ve been filling in the blanks, scenes that I put a note to write later, or adding snippets that were loose ends that I mentioned that I needed to show they happened. Another thing that really worked was when I was writing a particularly mundane activity, I added conflict. Sometimes I would elude to a problem that could come up–but then didn’t use that plot device to really present a conflict, so I ran with it. Those can be red herrings, but sometimes I just need to turn them into the conflict! Easy peasy.

And I figured out the heroine’s flaws. Now I have a perfectly hot hero–who needs some flaws also. I have to run errands today, but after that, Lachlan, tell me what bothers you the most? What are your deepest fears? What are YOUR secrets?

Okay, so have to run. Onward and upward!

Enjoy your day!

Creating Art From Photos

May15

From a blase picture to something fun!

Okay, little one is coming here today, ordered a set of Dick and Jane books to help her read. She loves to read to herself and I read to her all the time. But I was so excited when I was little to learn how to read on my own using the Dick and Jane books. Some things are timeless. They arrived yesterday so today we do more reading/learning. I’ve worked with her on some beginner Dr. Seuss books also.

Turned in edits on the Wolf Wears Plaid and managed to reach 74K on Red Wolf last night. Need 6K more to make word count, so should have that soon. Hopefully, and then just finishing up the story, and that will probably make it about 90K.

Took my walk mucho early this morning. It’s getting hotter, muggy, muggy, muggy, and we’re under flash flood warnings through Saturday, so I figure I’d better get it done.

Have a super great day and be safe!!

When You’re Sick…

Jan12

Get plenty of rest, right?

Are they kidding? Painful sore throat, teeth hurt so they feel they need to be pulled, can’t breathe, coughing…

Get plenty of rest???? I wish!

Even though I felt terrible yesterday, I managed to proof the last two fae print books, and two of the ebooks.

Baby is coming. She’s the one who gave me this. I love her anyway. 🙂 <3 She picks up everything from the daycare. I usually am lucky to dodge most of it. But I caught what she had in October, and now again….

All I need to do is rest though. Yep. Easy. Peasy. AFTER…she goes home for the night! And IF all the stuff that’s keeping me awake, goes away. No problemo.

Just…nod off and I’m good.

Have a great, healthy day!

Back to the Writing Cave

Jun20

Cave Background green and bear blue fill on top 900 -6

Cave Background green and bear orange filter 900 -6

This week, I want to finish up Falcon Fae, maybe Cougar Undercover, if I get beta edits back in time, make the changes, and can set up the print version, and reread it again.

I took the photo of the polar bear. Can you tell? It has mystery to it. Cut off the top of his head? Yep. Mine.

The fae had everything to do with it. Here I had the perfect shot lined up and then they messed up my aim. Or really, I meant to do this. To make you look up and want to see the rest of him. Yep. That’s what writing is all about. Making up stories.

The second photo is a cave and mist from Story Art, Light Rays and a Bear Overlay, and Marble Overlay from Creative Market. I was playing around with lighting and filters. I think I like the darker picture best. What about you?

Okay, enough procrastinating. Time to get on with the business of writing.

Have a super, great day!

Should He Be Worried?

Nov23

Yep, surrounded by turkey vultures, but he probably doesn’t know what they’re all about.

Let them in here with me, and I’ll take care of them, the jaguar says.

The lions might not care about them.

Or the bears.

Or the rhinos.

But come fly into our exhibits and that will give us something fun to hunt, the cougar and jaguar say.

And I’m fantasizing about roasting turkey….yum.
