Posting the Post

By Julia Schmeelk | January 6, 2023

I know writers who do a post a week, others who post several times a day. When I am posting regularly I aim for once a day and am lucky if I hit 6 in a week. Then when I am not posting I am busy living my life and adventuring in my own way.…

Clean Freak

By Julia Schmeelk | January 5, 2023

To be honest I was always in trouble as a kid for leaving things out, like my coat and my shoes. Now as an adult I am too often accused of being a clean freak. My husband just aggressively set his glass by the sink and reminded me it was his. That is his subtle…

Heron’s Mistake

By Julia Schmeelk | January 4, 2023

If you have read Heron’s Bonds you will probably have a strong opinion on Heron and his worst mistake when he almost kills his mate and himself. But for those who have not yet read the story some background might be helpful. Heron is not a regular guy. As a young man he was engaged…

My Birthday

By Julia Schmeelk | January 4, 2023

I have been very lucky to be married to one of the nicest men on earth. He was waiting for me after work, ready to place our order for food as soon as I called my Dad. Instead of going over there and helping out, we were going out together to pick up our favorites…

Weak Woman Hanna

By Julia Schmeelk | January 3, 2023

The downtrodden woman image can be twisted to fit any story where domestic females are happy in their role. However, Hanna featured first in Gordon’s Pride is traumatized, abused, and domestic by nature. She is not a dominant loud character. Instead she is quiet, enormously talented in many domestic arts, and because of her past…

Reading and Dreaming

By Julia Schmeelk | January 2, 2023

Well I try to take some time each day, aside from the news, mail, social media, professional sorts of things. I take some time for fiction, to fill up my dream world, to sink into a character, to fall into a story, to get lost beyond my own life into something else. I choose romances,…

First Day of a New Year

By Julia Schmeelk | January 1, 2023

Well, dragons did not take to the skies and as far as I know there were no messages from other species, but it was a wonderful beginning at my house for a hopeful year. We got together, listened to some fine music, ate some nice food, watched a hopeful movie, and exchanged a few stories.…

Happy New Year!

By Julia Schmeelk | December 31, 2022

Writing utopian fantasy not only involves building a world people would love to visit, it takes plenty of villains and heroes to move the story along. While there is an abundance of attention spent on Gordon, Grabon, and Heron, it is too easy to overlook the villains in my stories. As a matter of fact,…

The Boat

By Julia Schmeelk | September 18, 2022

I had a great time with my brother, yesterday, wandering around a small section of Lake Michigan. He is a relatively new boat owner, but he has some skills. We managed to see some great things while out and about and not all of them on the GPS, depth, and fish finder. We rescued an…

Person Games

By Julia Schmeelk | June 26, 2022

We all know about “he said, she said” games, and the all time favorite, ” I never heard that, “ game. The truth is, humans are nasty to one another, and as it turns out dragons can be just as bad. In Brom and Mox’s story, The Hunter, Book 7, of the NewEarth series, we…

Conflict

By Julia Schmeelk | March 28, 2022

As anyone who has played in my fictional world on NewEarth can attest, avoiding a species conflict is one of the major goals of the Combined Territories, however they are a clan of fighters and they deter with strength. Watching real world conflicts along with real world destruction has left me feeling sad and hollow.…
