My Cover Art

When Rigoli and I started writing together, I’d create cover art. It helped to make the writing—our books—feel real…

“Work your craft; until it becomes an art form.”
― Johnnie Dent Jr.
.
Words. It’s taken time to figure out how to relearn and use them.
.
Sure, all my life there was writing for school, degrees, research, lesson plans, and even collective story forums. But the art of communicating in real and valued ways with words was a struggle, having been a visual and aural artist since childhood.
.
Words were just an afterthought, mainly used for the scores of lyrics and poetry. Though books were read, I didn’t grasp the author’s nuances of putting words together to create incredible mental tapestries, images, sounds, or entire worlds. It’s not as if there was no capacity or understanding of language, it’s just that I had to learn, and relearn, how to merge what was known from the other arts, study author style distinctions and rhetoric, and then transmogrify all of that into the new artform of writing stories.

“Whoever said diamonds are a girl’s best frien

“Whoever said diamonds are a girl’s best friend never owned a dog.” I thought I was a cat person until I got a dog. Oh, how much I love this little dog!
.
My first dog ever is Lily the Beagle, pictured here, who has forever changed my heart. We added a Foxhound to our pack, and my life is better because of the two. Before I had dogs, I never really knew any of my neighbors. Walking the dogs has helped me interact with people and children in my neighborhood in new ways, and now we have a new tribe, a walking group bound together by our dogs.
.
It’s interesting how we have different circles, or tribes, of people in our lives who contribute in real and engaging ways because of things we’re doing: dogs, writing, art, and even motorcycles.
.
What tribes do you have in your life?

Writers and other creatives on # twowheels, I fini

Writers and other creatives on # twowheels, I finished painting my helmet! It’s a bright, impressionistic forest that is visible …everywhere. Lol😂

Rigoli and I rode our motorcycles feeling the wind in our faces, enjoying the sunshine and the scenery. This was our #artistdate assignment from our writers’ group. 🏍️

In the late afternoon, we stopped by our favorite local restaurant, ate, and worked on our books. I read aloud several chapters that I’ve finished, and Rigoli, my coauthor, was happy with them. 📚

Writers take yourself out on an artist date and create something else to renew ideas.
.
Writers want to keep after that story, chasing after it, spending so much time on it and with it that we get stuck. We end up hitting our heads on the keyboards while trying finish, tearing it apart and hammering at the creative inspiration in desperation to make it behave. That spark of story lessening in brilliance.
.
It is rejuvenating to unfetter the creative self and allow it out to create. Go paint, photograph, design, sing, dance, chef, draw, but all inspiration, the muse, to find you again.

Today is about painting the new motorcycle helmet, the inspiration drawn from something that I’m doing in my style. 😊

No one starts out writing great stuff; we all star

No one starts out writing great stuff; we all start out writing crap. However, over time we get better and know more about writing than we did when we started. Determination is everything.
.
I went to college, surely, I could write books. Right? Let’s just say that the fundamentals of grammar and English from school is not equal to the elements of telling a story. The learning curve was so big for me it could have circled the moon. But I stuck with it, even when I embarrassed myself in my writer’s critique group or when putting a book out too soon. I learned every. Step. Of. The. Way. You will too.
.
As we grow as artists (that’s what writing is, an art), the muse will offer us more. Our job is to do the best we can to take those idea sparks and make something out of them, and to do so with the best of our ability. Determination means we don’t let fear, embarrassment, or idleness win. We take what the muse bequeaths and run with it.
