Random shots

Kind of took a day off today, doing only a little writing on the next chapter–maybe a couple of paragraphs, along with deleting about six pages because it was going somewhere I didn’t want it to go.

My brain needed a break, I think. So I caught up with email and had a long phone call.

Over the past week or so, I’ve colored pages while chapter plotting and mentally writing. There are times I sit staring into space and speak out loud my characters’ dialogue. Imagine if I did this in public… My dogs are used to it. I’m not sure Tom ever hears me–the advantage of working in two separate areas at home!

Here are some random shots taken with the iPhone recently.

This is from that “official” unicorn coloring book I showed on here the other day. =)

This one served a dual purpose. I was revising a chapter about one of the romantic relationships in the work in progress but also, our niece Toni had just shared the news of her engagement to be married. It’s nice to get good updates from family!

Brought in these two heavy hitters to serve as muses as I tried to write a character in deep distress in the work in progress. She needs a hero! Or two. And I need to dust my laptop and keyboard again.

Another look at the guitar bracelet that one of the characters is absolutely not wearing. =)
