Happy 🎃 Halloween!

Enjoying the simple pleasures of making the best out of Halloween. Listening to scary tunes, watching the treaters get their socially distanced candy and reading “Wicked Deeds on a Winter’s Night” by @kresleycole. Making the most of every moment and loving how creative people have gotten to make a beloved holiday work.
*
I’m making the most of what I have in each moment. Thank you for being a part of it! And thank you for great books that provide an incredible escape during these times. XO

What is one of your favorite books to escape to during Halloween?

My writing partner is tired! I can see why with 67% done with my first draft. We have so little left to write. Maybe he can sleep and send some energy my way. Here’s to hoping.

What are you at with your WIP (work in progress)? XO

Peaceful weekend writing. Another 5,600 words down in my next book. Nothing like being with friends, the dogs running wild, horses roaming the pasture and enjoying the afternoon sun. #bliss

Reunited (on the water) and it feels so good! 🎶

Reunited (on the water) and it feels so good! 🎶 Thanks, @mandojanamvm and Ingrid for a row today. It’s always a different river depending on when we go. Today was filled with shell flipping waves and speeding boats. A completely opposite experience to the blissful, tranquil morning rows.

#writingtip Think about the time of day you set your scene. The morning, day, afternoon and evening times all lend themselves to different elements that will react with your main character and affect your setting. What is your favorite time of day and why? XO

I just went down to get a few sprigs of herbs and realized the rosemary bush was out of control! These two happy bundles are from a conservative trim on the rosemary. Time to make an herb blend. What are your favorite recipes with rosemary or salt recipes?
*
#writingtip when you add herbs to your stories, you enhance the reader’s olfactory system. Did you know that people’s strongest memories are connected to scent? That’s why I usually have at least one scent that runs prevalent throughout each story.
*
What is your favorite scent? Have you used it in a story? XO

Hope your holiday brought you joy, peace, friends

Hope your holiday brought you joy, peace, friends and family. After this row, I got another 4,000+ words in my next book. When the creative flow is open, I’ve got to go with it. I find exercise or movement helps me when my creativity is waning. What do you do to shift your creative energy? XO

Appreciate the simple things. Every day I look at

Appreciate the simple things. Every day I look at these orchids, that miraculously are still blooming, and think of my sweet friend, who gave them to me for my birthday. It’s a little reminder that I’m loved even if my friends aren’t physically with me. It’s these little details that help me clear my mind for writing and that I can use to think about what is important to my characters. What are little details around you that remind you of loved ones? XO
