Feeding Horses & Other Worthy Enterprises
The sun is just about to rise, and I'm looking forward to heading out to the barn to feed the horses and have a morning chat with them. Horse energy is a very special thing and, of course, different from dog or cat energy. I took off to have a haircut yesterday (badly...
Linda Strikes Gold!
I went out to feed the horses this morning--turned out, the Canadian Wrangler had already done it, and this two hours before he's supposed to get on an airplane. (That's dedication, ladies and gentlemen.) Anyway, since I was out and about, I decided to poke around in...
Return of the Barn Goddess
I seem to be locked in low gear today, even though I got up at the regular time (around 5) and did all the usual things--dogs out, dogs in, dogs out again, etc. Coffee perking. Journaling and Morning Pages. To-do list done. Now to do the things ON that list. :)I...
My Weekend
My weekend was a personal artfest! I collaged. I painted journal pages. I recorded ideas in my sketchbook, so all those things I want to try wouldn't get away from me. I visited BOTH Michael's and Spokane Art Supply. I printed images on shrink plastic and shrunk them....
That Gideon
When I got to the marshal's office yesterday, Gideon wasn't there. Rowdy wasn't, either. Only the old yellow dog, Pardner, was around. So I headed out onto the streets of Stone Creek, Arizona, circa 1915, and started tracking the missing hero. I found him at the...
Back to Work
Yesterday was my between-books vacation. I painted, working mostly on those visual prayers I mentioned, answered some of my back-log of emails, and just generally rested my fevered little brain. Today, it's fire up the old iPod with my Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash and...
Blogger Was Updated!
That's why I had so much trouble getting my blogs up. Hopefully, we're back in the swing now. :)Here's what's going on in Linda-land on this rainy Wednesday morning:I FINISHED the third book in the Creed Trilogy, TYLER, yesterday! Today, I'm waiting for any revisions...
It’s Monday–isn’t it?
(Note: I wrote this blog early this morning, but I'm having trouble getting it to post to the website. Who knows what time it will show up?)I was one busy cowgirl this weekend. Two chapters written and glitter everywhere!For those of you tuning in after an absence,...
Darn you, Martha Stewart!
Wasn't the glitter enough?? Now you have to come up with a fold-out journal made of watercolor paper that just BEGS to be collaged???Don't you know I have a book to write?Is this some dastardly international plot?:)Okay, I'm over it. I've vented.Back to work--the...
My Purple Passion
On top of the Martha Stewart glitter (yum!) and the sparkly gel pens I bought at Costco--primo--I have begun journaling with brightly colored ink. My favorite is PURPLE, and I intend to make a run to Michael's for a fresh supply AFTER I've finished my page quota for...
Another Cozy Day
I'm reading through the galleys of DYLAN today, and thinking of how I can't wait to share this second story in the Montana Creeds trilogy with you. Later, I'll be tackling TYLER again--the book, I mean, not Tyler himself, darn it--and I'm REALLY into that book. I'm...
Rainy Days and Mondays…
(Yes, I know it's Tuesday, but I'm taking some poetic license here.)Rainy days and Mondays (or Tuesdays) don't necessarily get me down, no matter what the song says. We had crashing thunder and flashes of lightning during the night--the kind of spectacular...
