Fantasy Gathering A dash of wizardry and dragons
Day 1 – Check!
After staring for hours at a blank white screen (MS Word), I finally forced myself to start out with a scene. I then spent the next couple hours trying to figure out what happens in this scene and how it can affect things later on. After hammering out 1,719 words, I have officially met today’s […]
NaNoWriMo has started. Day 1.
NaNoWriMo has started! If you’re just hearing about this for the first time, NNWM is basically a personal challenge. You’re challenging yourself to write 50,000 words through the month of November. It gives you that extra oomph to start a novel. This year’s NNWM, I have decided to write a story titled “The Coming of […]
Happy Halloween!
Carve your pumpkins yet? Got your costumes picked out? Hope so. Halloween’s here. Heh! I haven’t gotten into watching any horror movies though… but does “The Walking Dead” count? I couldn’t wait for the second season but is it me or is it moving awfully slow? I wish they’d find Sophia and get back on […]
Painting Gingerbread Wood Cutouts
It’s that time again. My father makes wood cutouts and I paint them. While I’ve painted various themed cutouts for them, my true passion is the Gingerbread Village for Christmas. It’s been slowly growing over the past years. I had completely forgotten about it until a catalog came in and my father asked me what […]
Writing Non-Fantasy?
There were all these people living on Earth… and then a wizard showed up! What? No wizard? Darn. After talking with a friend, I realized that the only thing I write is fantasy. Everything I write just drips with fantasy. You can feel waves of fantasy coming off any story I write. I forced myself […]
Write a review of the last movie you saw. – Day Zero
The Daily Post asks: Write a review of the last movie you saw. This took a bit of thinking… I was absolutely positively sure that it had to be a horror movie since Halloween is making them all crawl out of the woodwork. It turns out that the last movie I saw was “Day Zero”. […]
NaNoWriMo and Castles!
NaNoWriMo‘s 13th year is coming up. For me, it’s my third go at writing 50,000 words in a month. If you don’t know what it is, NaNoWriMo is where you challenge yourself to write 50,000 words during the month of November. That’s 1,667 words a day! You can do it! Create an account and give […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Comfort
The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge is: Comfort I didn’t want to take this obvious route when it came to comfort but pets play a huge part in our lives. I know I used this picture already in another post but it just bears repeating. This is Gypsy lounging on my book of stories. I […]
Describe a dream you’ve had more than once.
The Daily Post asks: Describe a dream you’ve had more than once. Everyone has a dream, or nightmare, they’ve had more than once. Either write a post describing one, or explaining why you think you’ve had the dream multiple times. —- The one thing I absolutely can not stand about dreams is when pets are […]
