Wearing Green!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Yes, I have several Irish ancestors, Scottish, Viking, English, German, Welsh, French, Canadian–so just a melting pot of all good.

When I was in school, I was proud to wear the green, but it was a necessity also, if you didn’t want to get pinched!

So here’s to loving green. I love green in the landscape, makes me feel connected, dreamy, at peace.

Wearing the green is part of who they are.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! May the luck of the Irish be with you all day and throughout the year!

Cover Art and Teddy Bears

Nov8

Pink Rainbow Bear with pink ultra suede paws

Last bear order! Still need to write a Christmas blog but I was working on my next cover for the next book in the Heart of the Cougar series. I wanted something really colorful, spring-like, different from the other covers so no one would mistakenly pick up the same book twice. It has conflict right away, and it will have mystery, suspense, humor, romance, just like all the other books. 🙂 Not sure when I will have time to write it, but it will have to be next year.

I’m back to working on Viking! Have a super great Sunday!!

Conflict! Conflict! Conflict!

Aug25

I’ve been so busy with writing books, deadlines, making bears, taking pictures, 🙂 that I haven’t been teaching too many full-class online workshops, except on an individual basis. A publisher signed up seventeen of her authors to take my conflict course, so I’m happily critiquing student exercises.

Not all writers can teach. Not all teachers can teach. But ever since I was a kid, I wanted to teach. When I was in 6th grade, I was in Teachers of Tomorrow, and taught a class on artwork to 2nd graders and to 3rd graders later. It was a fun experience, and I always thought I’d be a teacher.

My dad discouraged it because there was no money in teaching, he said. So after getting a masters in business and accounting, working as a personnel officer, and doing so many different things, I started teaching writers how to hone their writing.

And I love it. But I’d kind of gotten away from it because I’ve been so busy with writing.

One of the things that I love about teaching, is it reminds me how to edit my own work as I’m critiquing. Wow, am I doing all the things I tell others to do???

🙂 <3

So I’m off to critique some more lessons, loving it, and still trying to get my word count in for A Silver Wolf Christmas! I reached 40,000 words last night, which means I’m halfway done, and worked on 3 bears!!!

Off to catch up on student lessons than word count.

Have a great Monday!!

Really off to work!

Have a super great Wednesday!!!

Happy Halloween!

Oct5

I know it’s early but, I like to do some things early!!! I want you to know I worked a long time to do this. 🙂 Just for you. The growly pumpkin was made by my dad and painted by my mother. I made the wizard bear, and no it’s not a build a bear. Unless you consider building it from scratch. 🙂

But I hope you like it as much as I had fun creating it! Happy Halloween, early!!
