Interior Decorating

Book interiors that is! I love designing the interiors of my book from fonts to scene breaks and everything else that goes into it. Save for page numbers. For some reason, those fiends love to get on my nerves! As I believe I've mentioned before, right now I'm working on the interior of House Blend…

Colorful Arrival

Last Friday, my watercolor pencils came! So, after dinner I spent the majority of the night trying them out, or as I called it gleefully, "playing with my colors", haha. Although, side note, it's a lesson in patience to put the lid back on the container 😩 Originally, I was going to make a color…

Watercolors

As soon as I typed that title "Watercolors" I felt like writing a poem, but I'm going to hold off on that and keep this blog-ish, haha. "There are piles of pillows in the corner, flower petals littering the floor, and there’s even roving paint of different colors in jars on her desk."The Merchant's Pearl…

Catalogs and Paperbacks

Good evening (or not) everyone! I was scheduling posts for Instagram when I realized that I haven't been by the blog in a minute. Trust me, it wasn't on purpose. And just like with Instagram, I realized that I haven't talked about a few things that have happened since my last post, so let's get…

Speedy Fingers

Wow, just checked and saw that the last time I posted was in May. 😱 Lately I've been working on (save for my break, when am I not working on something tbh) a project that's been robbing pretty much all of my attention. Hopefully, it'll be done soon and I'll be able to gab all…

The Underdog’s Comeback

You know how yesterday I was talking about maybe going on Pinterest and to not hold your breath? I WAS SO WRONG! Not only did I successfully log onto Pinterest (you have no idea how many times it dares to tell me I don't know my own password), I designed my banner, made a few…

Pasta and Distractions

Yesterday, inspiration was flowing, the day was warm and pretty, and the patio welcomed in a beautiful breeze. Aka, I was going to write like a girl on a mission. However, due to a sudden hit of nasty feelings, recovering, going to bingo, defeating a hard boss before the game got harder, getting engrossed in…

Breeze Questions

Why green? Why not blue? Question Question Not them why not you? Question Question Why peppery and oh so spicy? Why not calm with a little sweetness spiking? Question Question Why am I sitting here waiting, when I could be out and playing? Question Question And now an answer, I think I will. ~ Note:…

Dry Erase

Sometimes a writing session isn't sitting primly at your desk and plugging away page after page of prose. And that was true for my writing session last night. Last night, I was on the sofa with dry erase marker in hand and a whiteboard on my lap. I've always loved having a little whiteboard. For…

Gossip and Cookies

In a writing session over the weekend, I discovered something interesting about my main character's mother (just realized I discovered it the day before Mother's Day, haha). That's right she likes baking cookies. Not only that, but her best-friend from their school days like to bake cookies, drink tea, and call each other to chat/gossip…
