Happy New Year!!

Here's hoping that the new year will be filled with laughter, peace, and the continued camaraderie of both old friends and new! Raise your glasses high and have a wonderful New Year!

And just like that

What a difference a day can make. I was so frustrated yesterday with my story that I was ready to chunk the whole thing and start from scratch. But, after a lengthy IM with a new friend, it started falling in place, and today I was able to add many shiny new words! Thank you, LaraMee! You're a lifesaver!! And as such, here's a treat for both of us! ;-)

May I have an atlas, please?

I have found that there is surely nothing more frustrating when working on a story than knowing how it ends, having the rest of the story written, but not being able to find that one piece that will link these parts together and make it a complete story. GRRRR!

That magical missing piece is out there, I just can't get a firm grip on it so I can put it in its place.

The elusive tongue

I'm just sayin'.........

And it only took me a week!

Finally! My story is flowing once more! Ezra is out of the well, and the big-bang finish is in sight! Yeeee-haaaawww! I had hoped to have this one completed before Christmas, but it's looking like a New Year's dash across the finish line for me. I can deal with that.

1K words and all is.....crap

So I was able to get 1K words on my second Mag 7 story tonight, bringing it to a nice, shiny 8K so far. I should be happy, right?

Well, if I want to use what I wrote tonight to start a fire or line the bottom of a bird cage, sure.

Good thing I ordered that extra case of 'delete' buttons for my keyboard, eh?

Eye candy, if you will

I'm still new to this, so please bear with me. After admiring the many picspams on my friends' journals, I thought I'd try my hand at one.

Hopefully, there will be much Ezra goodness in this post. ;-)

That smile....

A more serious face

Ezra being, well, Ezra


Showing off that tactile sensitivity


There's just something about a man on horseback

This one tugs at my heartstrings. He needs a hug.

Since Blogger wouldn't let me do it any other way

I guess I now have a second blog. It was frustrating to try and comment on my friends' blogs, so I am now the proud new owner of yet another 'journal' - like I need another distraction from writing. ;-)
