Took the photo of the cardinal in Brenham, Texas. He caught a glimpse of my camera lens peeking out of the blind.
I have little one here so we’re doing kid exercises, tried Bluey and that was too boring for him, so we have a monster one we’re doing, lol and then I’ll work with him on some preschool pages. I managed to make word count on Highland Wolf, woohoo, so next I’ll be proofing it.
Hope your day is super fine.

She looks so soft and cuddly. I took the photo of her in Brenham, Texas.
I brainstormed with a friend last night to come up with what I needed to finish Highland Wolf. It’s finished, but I just felt I was missing something. So off I go to write!
Have a wonderfully creative day!

I was headed for the birding blind when I saw the deer in the tall grass. Almost missed them. This was in Brenham, Texas.
Still coughing most of the night. Tried every trick in the book. I managed to get 2 hours of sleep, then start coughing again. And of course the dogs wanted out at 6. I tried to ignore them because I had finally stopped coughing, but it didn’t work. And of course as soon as I tried to lie down, I was coughing again and gave up on it.
I managed to get 1,000 words yesterday. I was editing last night, wondering what I was going to write to make the next 4,000 words. The book is pretty much done. A subplot that I would have to thread through the story? Maybe. I had one idea that I will add, but it will only be probably a few sentences. It would be funny and add a little more conflict. Whatever I come up with, it has to add character development–not be filler.
I’m off to work.
Have a great one!

That’s what I figured he was thinking! I took the photo of him at the Writer’s Retreat. I wrote, for sure. I had edits to do on a book to turn in. But I also photographed farm life, wild birds, and captured some deer coming to visit! It was the perfect writer’s retreat!
I managed to get my 1,000 for the day before and a 1,000 for yesterday on Highland Wolf. I normally write 2,000 words per day, but this head cold is still plaguing me. I only have 5,000 words to go for minimum word count.
Hope your day is the best!

She loved all the writers’ company, curled up around their laptops, slept or watched us. She was so sweet. I took photos of her, naturally, and petted her. She was in seventh heaven.
Well, this cold got the better of me last night. I couldn’t stop coughing and it got so bad I couldn’t keep my dinner down. I tried everything. Honey, tea, cough syrup, cough drops, nothing would work. I was so close to getting a 1,000 words on Highland Wolf, but I was just coughing so hard, I had to quit. Fifty-six words away from it! I never quit when I’m that close to reaching a goal.
Then I remembered I had nasal saline spray and I got out of bed and took that. That was it. I’m dog tired because of being awake so much of the night before I finally thought to use that. It stopped the constant heavy nasal drip and the coughing for the most part and I was able to sleep some.
I’m off to bed. Maybe I can get some more sleep and think up 56 more words for the story! Right now I’m too tired to think. I’m going to be like this kitty cat, without a care in the world and rest!
Have a wonderful day!

So I took the easiest grandchild last night to give my daughter a break and my granddaughter got sick last night. Poor thing. She seems to be okay now, but she got me up at 2:30 am and 5:30, had to throw the dogs outside, and then we both tried to sleep and by 7, had to take the dogs out again.
I managed to get Wolf Bound at most of the sites, but it isn’t available yet except at Amazon. Still waiting on the print cover to upload the print version.
Wolf Bound
Red wolf Kira Westwood is on a mission with the United Shifter Force where she’s trying to track down kidnappers who are gray wolf shifters. What she doesn’t expect is to find a wounded gray wolf—shifter type—who’s an innocent bystander and the boy who has been taken hostage. Now her mission is complicated by leaps and bounds.
Fisher Greystoke can’t believe a walk in the national park has led to nearly being killed and meeting the prettiest red she-wolf he has ever met. But there’s no time for anything but helping her go after kidnappers and joining the United Shifter Force so he can get to know the red wolf a whole lot better while ensuring the rogue wolves don’t take them down first–permanently.
I grew these from seeds, and I have another couple in different areas. But with our hot, hot, humid, hot Texas heat, they do great in a little bit of shade. I have one that is in a lot of shade now and it’s not as profuse, just getting ready to bloom (old one, maybe about 6 years old and the seeds planted before the rosebush grew so big beside it). And another that I planted that is in full sun, that is still working on presenting flowerbuds. I planted the seeds for that one and the other that is pictured above this year. I love how their centers stretch to the sky in little golden mounds and their petals hang down. They’re such sweet little flowers. And they don’t mind the heat and sun and drought. Though a little shade and watering they welcome at this time of year.
I’m off to get ready for my next adventure. Barely got any writing in yesterday, but added a few descriptive items on Wolf Bound. It’s at 85K now.
Have a grand adventurous day!

When wolves were wolves where some of them were on their long journey to domestication.
So I had an overnight guest last night. My granddaughter has been begging me to sleepover. She’s so cute. We swam for 2 1/2 hours yesterday, read books, and she went to her first official coder class. It was just setting up her character and background which she has done for tons of things. She’s on the Ninja Coders’ white band, so this afternoon is her next one.
It’s only 69 this morning, woohoo! We had wild storms last night. I was afraid they would keep her awake, but she was completely out once her head hit the pillow. lol
We’re supposed to have afternoon thunderstorms, so we’ll try to go swimming this morning and hope the water isn’t too cold. It was cooler yesterday. She wants donut holes for breakfast, something we do sometimes on her overnight stays. One of the workbook pages she was doing was about a little granddaughter staying with her grandma and what she had to pack for the slumber party. Her eyes lit up when she read it and she said, “You picked this one because I’m staying overnight with you, didn’t you?”
She’s so funny. I have to enjoy it while I can before she’s too old and doesn’t want to stay with me. I’ve had her little brother too sometimes.
I haven’t been getting much word count done. I’m still editing which means taking out, revising, adding in, so it kind of all negates the word count.
I’m off to do something before she gets up.
Hope your day is super fine!

Sometimes they hold still to have their photo taken. Very gracious, I say.
My SIL is going to watch a football game with guy friends today, and so my daughter and I are taking the kids swimming, eating out, and going shopping. We will have a blast.
I’m only 2,000 words away from reaching my minimum word count on Wolf Bound. Woohoo! So yesterday, to see where I need to go with it, I started revising it from the beginning.
Hope you have a beautiful butterfly day!

Kind of like a Thursday Throwback on Wednesday. My days feel all mixed up. I had the kids on Saturday, and the kids on Monday, so I feel discombobulated. lol
I watched the new Neanderthal show on TV about more discoveries they’ve made and saw on National Geographic about the new dinosaur they unearthed. All fascinating stuff. I’ve been interested in all this since I was a kid and read my first book all about earlier humans, and have always enjoyed reading about dinosaurs before so many of them were discovered, or that some really wore feathers.
The cave in this is real. The background to the left created in Oscraps, lots of texture overlays, lighting, the cave people on Etsey.
I’m off to get ready for little one. Big one is off from school starting tomorrow so I need to get a school regimen set up for her, like I did with homeschooling my own, and the rest of the day is just for fun. I also need to sign her up for a million reading programs.
Have a great day!
