Writing Prompts

Well hello there! I hope thins finds you all doing well? I, myself, am trying to settle into spring here in upstate. That is, if  Mother Nature will let me. The weather here has been so odd. We did not get any real snow until February of this year and now we are expecting another snow storm tomorrow! Yes, you read that right. This after spitting snow at us all this week. Easter Sunday was nice, but that's really about the only spring day we have had here. Makes a girl think about moving to a warmer climate. Will we ever get the warm weather? Who knows, but I hope that wherever you are, the weather is fine. Cheers to surviving spring 2018!

On another note, I am taking up something new. Writing prompts. I have done a few of these here and there. I belong to a group that asks for 6 word prompts and I do participate occasionally. Today was my first real try at a paragraph prompt. I went a little longer than a paragraph just to tie it up and I am pretty pleased with it. Maybe there is something to prompting after all. Feeling pretty creative today because of it. I am really looking forward to how this progresses. What new things are you trying this year?

For those of you that have been waiting for the new paperback version of The Find of Her Life, you will be happy to hear that I received word last night that a reformat is in the works. I will keep you posted on its progress as soon as I can.

Wishing you all a wonderful Thursday! Stay warm or cool out there....whichever it may be :)

Hello there :) I hope that this finds you all doing quite well and enjoy this lovely spring weather. Everything has started to turn green here and not too soon in my opinion. Even though this past winter was not bad by any stretch of the imagination, I find that I have been antsy for the warmer temps to get here. How I long to wear a tank top and sit outside with my tea. It's the little things, lol. What's the down side to all these nice temps and prettier colors in nature? My allergies, of course! They have been at def-con 11 for days now, but I will take it in exchange for some sunshine. 

A friend of mine said, not to long ago, that she thought it was odd that I had not written anything or, for that matter, picked up my camera in months. Until she said this, I hadn't even noticed to be honest. As I said, this winter was not bad at all, but it had an effect on my. Sort of put me in a malaise state. (No, there were not meat helmets involved or anything shorn, lol) I had been sleepwalking through my life! So, a couple weeks in a row, I made sure that my camera was with me when I went out. I have been snapping whatever catches my interest and I think I have gotten some great shots. I have also noticed my art evolving a bit. Taking on new shape and form. So, in a round about way, I suppose stepping away from it for a bit was not such a bad thing after all.

I hope this spring is treating you well and I hope you are enjoy all it has to offer. Looking to schedule a portrait session? Trying to find new artwork for your wall? Email me for more information on my work, if you are so inclined :) Have a wonderful Sunday my friends and keep me posted on your springtime adventures!
