Today I’m in Gothenburg, which means I’m away from my trusty Dixit cards so I won’t be doing an image prompt. Actually, I won’t be doing a prompt at all. My head is full of magic. I am currently reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in Arabic (a marvelous experience I will eventually blog about) and this has brought Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Almost not flash
This week didn’t go quite as planned. I got, apparently, an unexpected case of sleepyitis. I kept thinking I’d do this or the other thing in the evening and then there I was, eyelids drooping way earlier than normal. This hampered my productivity a bit, especially on the day when I was at my day job during my non-sleepy hours. Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – A Case of Sleepyitis
Last week I was crazy tired. I’m not sure why, maybe I’m still just adjusting to being back at work, but blogging in the evenings was just not a thing that was happening at all! So since I missed Worldbuilding Wednesday and Flash Fiction Friday, I’m doing a special post today combining them. Yay! This week I finished the paper Continue reading Sunday Double Whammy! Worldbuilding + Flash Fiction
…of printer ink! This is the MS for my next big project. Rougly 105 pages which took my wee printer a good long time to write. I drafted this project during Camp NaNo in April, and it is chaos! It’s totally anachronic (not in a good way!) and has a bunch of viewpoint characters with very different lenghts of sections (two have Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – That lovely smell…
Once again, I almost forgot it was Friday. I think I should get into the habit of picking my prompt card earlier in the day, so I’m not always doing these pieces just before bed. Oh well, next week maybe… Here is today’s card. As usual, all credit to the awesome Dixit illustrators: The Pillars As the pillars sank into Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – The Pillars
I haven’t had time to do much worldbuilding since last week because I was away for the weekend, but I did manage a bit of progress. I feel I’m getting close to being done enough with my map to transfer it to a digital medium and start adding colors and textures. Exciting! Tonight, I worked a bit on a series Continue reading Worldbuilding Wednesday – Islands!
So, today I went back to my day job. I was ambivalent about it, but now that I’m back it mostly feels good. I’ve missed my colleagues! The only real bummer is it leaves less time for my creative work. With that in mind, I’ve revised my “productivity block” system to get a little more out of the days (two Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Back to Work
Today’s piece of flash fiction isn’t based on a prompt. It came to me while in the car on the way to a family thing this weekend. My dad asked my to read the map while he drove, which my mom usually does but she was going there view a different route so she wasn’t with us. Here it is: Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – The Map
This week’s been a bit crazy, particularly today. In between neglected day job tasks, laundry and preparing for a family event this weekend, I wasn’t sure I’d have time to do anything with my map today. Earlier in the week I was a bit lazy, so I haven’t gotten as far as I would’ve liked, but tonight I got some Continue reading Worldbuilding Wednesday – Some map details
That’s right, next week I’m back to work again. I’m a bit nervous. Not about going back to work in and of itself, but about to what extent I’ll be able to keep my non-dayjob days active and productive. I’ve been getting a lot done these past few weeks, without feeling stressed, and I’d love to keep that up. This Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Last Week of Vacation
