Unfortunately, I've been going through a dry spell recently. Trying to write has been like trying to pull teeth without the proper tools--not very pleasant. I stare at the empty page, and I'm more likely to doodle than come up with words.
Don't believe me? Look at this:
 |
| Egads! That is a lot of swirlies. |
Yes, indeed, that is a page of my Idea Notebook, dated to last week. When I opened up the journal, I had planned on writing. Instead, I spent about an hour doodling. The final result? A lot of purple swirlies, and not a single story idea.
 |
| My masterpiece, purple ballpoint pen on notebook paper. |
 |
| Yet another close-up. |
That is an extreme example, but the point is still valid: I have not been writing a lot recently.
So, imagine my pure and utter delight when I came up with not one, but three, stories today. Three! And they all tie into Landus Fantasticus, meaning that they will add another layer to my novel. And not only that, I was able to upload them, and share them through my Etsy store.
My store really has become a labor of love. Yes, I enjoy making the jewelry and the hairsticks that I post--and I'm delighted to share them with people. But I am also thrilled to share my stories... the beautiful snippets that tantalize and beckon. As someone who is striving to finish this novel and be published, it is such a joy to be able to share!
Here are the three stories that I created today...

| Avennyth, the Red Dragon - Hairstick |

Oh, what a delight to write some stories!
