Happy Spring!
Whether you celebrate Passover or Easter, I am wishing you happy, also if you are headed into autumn instead of spring, I hope a new season brings fresh hope and good things. For us, we are celebrating and gathering as a family. Eat, laugh, and make merry.
Conflict
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.…
Healing
As I deal with our crazy world and all the things that make me want to rip out my hair, I was plotting stories in my world of NewEarth as a comforting escape. Since I am teaching again, I realized I don’t have time to sit and rough draft, so instead, I started reading The…
That First Encounter
They say first impressions are important, and I am sure the dragons share that particular belief. Imagine that poor dragon, a new territory holder with a small clan of her own, going out to introduce herself to the new arrivals. She landed outside the chaotic mess of their containers, roughly imagining the edge of a…
Stick Figures
Athena is my fabulous artist, and if you haven’t had a chance to go on the website and view the art gallery, I really recommend it. She has done an amazing job bringing my character and setting to life using her own unique style. On the other hand, my artistry is done in words, not…
The Trip
Have you ever taken a long road trip and wanted to kill your fellow passengers, slowly? Imagine a month or more in a ship racing through space, a cargo ship, with a few modifications for passengers. There were 120 original pioneers that headed out to colonize what they would later call NewEarth. Only 117 survived…
New Job Jitters
One of the best parts of starting something new is the absolute confusion. The need to learn a thousand new things all at once and knowing it is impossible. So you have a small window with permission to ask away, make mistakes and shrug when it comes to light. after all you are new. Not…
New Beginnings
As I started a new job today, it made me think of how newcomers must feel as they arrive in a territory in my NewEarth series. Imagine how the new arrivals felt as those brave volunteers boarded a ship to be dropped off on a new planet. Their hearts must have been drumming in their…
A Story to Tell
Imagine being chosen to pioneer a new planet. You passed the exam, the physical, and your container is delivered by drone and the electronic key is texted to your personal communication device. They stopped calling them phones a century before, now they are simply PCD’s. The list of recommended items to bring reads like ancient…
The Adventure Continues
I choose to find the good. It sounds simple and clean, but of course it isn’t. I write fairytales, not because I can’t see the bad, or because I think I am magically protected from it, but because bad is there. People need hope, they need to see the good. Once you start looking for…
Power Through
Recently I have been working in sales. As a writer, working in sales is amazing, you see and learn so much about humans and what drives them in all their moods. But seriously, the most mind bending thing I learned was not to try so hard. Any one who knows me, knows that I am…
Tech Challenges
One of the best parts of the modern world is our technology. This includes from our medicine to our machines to our computers. I don’t know about you, but it seems impossible to understand everything, and to keep everything working all the time takes experts. Knowing what pills to take for what condition would fill…
