Parrot in Paradise

Dec19
Maybe not exactly in paradise, took the photo at the Dallas Zoo.

So I actually wrote 7600 words on two stories last night, using the fighting game. It’s great. I am so motivated at first to get my word count, and I wasn’t doing any of the quests. Then I figured out how to do them, and I need more luck so I get better stuff that the monsters drop when I finish them off, or time to battle with strength, or defensive weapons, armor, not sure about that exactly. I had to do a 100 words in 10 mins for one monster and it was more of a challenge. lol I was able to do 278 in 5 mins with making mistakes and just endurance (did not like having to do that one), so I know I can do it.

My goal today is reach 20K on A Date with a Wolf (I have 16K already).

It’s just making it fun. I’m so goal oriented, plus I love playing RPGs so it’s the best of two worlds. Getting my word count in and playing a quest game.

All right, well, my son is coming in late tonight–about a 15 hour drive from Omaha, so I’m going to try and get my 5000 words in and do some more getting ready stuff. It’s warmer and rainy today.

Have a great day!

Parrot Art

Dec9
Parrot Photo I took at the Dallas Zoo

I’m working on the cover for Cougar Christmas Calamity today. I finished writing it, and then sent it to my beta readers. So I’m hoping to have it ready before the cutoff deadline for getting things published before Christmas. I think it’s around the 20th. I’ll be working on setting up the book on the bookseller sites today.

Well, I do have little one here today, so I’ll be doing whatever I can. I also moved my file cabinet to where I hopefully will spend more time filing, lol, maybe, hopefully, and get more organized. It’s in sight of my desk instead of in a back room.

So that’s another project I’m working on! I’m going through 4 file drawers of files right now.

I also am starting back up on 4theword to see if I can get a little more writing done a day, especially with the holidays going on. It’s kind of cool because you’re battling monsters–the clock, to get something written. What’s neat about it is it forces me NOT to look at emails or stop to do anything for 20 minutes. I get 300 words done in about 10. It’s amazing how much more I can write when I’m not constantly being distracted, playing with photo art, emails, Facebook time, lol and other stuff. I can get the word count down in a short amount of time and then do more or do other stuff then. It works!

But right now, I just need to get ready for my granddaughter’s arrival.

Have a great day!!

Passed on the Chimp!

Nov15

I was playing more with the mid-key background and turned it in. Then we have to add a subject once the background passes. The thing is the background changes so much after I add the subject to get it to blend in and add the colors that work with the subject that it seems like it makes more sense to just create it, drop in the subject and get approval, or not.

Okay, so I’m working on Cougar, managed to get an extra 1,000 in yesterday. Only 12K left to go (minimum word count I’m shooting for), but I need to do edits on Dreaming too.

Have a great day! I’m working on the low key background next and a butterfly.

Birds Not of a Feather

Nov13

All kinds of different birds, all beautiful in their own feathers.

I’m off to do all kinds of things early this morning and then have to pick up sick baby from daycare. Today was supposed to be my baby day off, but I know she sleeps better here, if she can sleep. It means no writing though. I did manage 2,000 words yesterday and finished a bear I need to ship this morning.

Have a lovely day!!! I’ve got to run!

Parrot at the Dallas Zoo

And koi and flowers and bird in the sun and shade…

Went to the arboretum, wetlands, and the zoo to capture tons of pictures. 🙂

Have a wonderfully wild day!!

Stop Biting!

Nov16

Okay, normally, I think of myself as pretty observant. But not while I was buying my dog food. The clerk was ringing me up, then suddenly said, “Stop biting!”

I looked over at her, to see what was biting her because as far as I knew, she and I were the only two people there, and saw the cute little parrot on her arm. He’s 7 mos old and $750. Just adorable. But I’m sticking to my puppies. She said he’s very noisy!

The sun parakeet or sun conure (Aratinga solstitialis) is a medium-sized brightly colored parrot native to northeastern South America.

This is my kind of bird. Wild, can fend for itself, and highly entertaining too. 🙂  This is a dove in my gardens.

It’s raining, it’s pouring, and so the saga continues!

Alpha Wolf Need Not Apply is back with my editors, pitched my next 3 books, and I’m off to work on Viking again.

Have a super great Monday!
