SOMETIMES …

pov.JPG

A POV change is needed … and voila — there the road lies.

I was stuck with something in my plot. My hero just wanted to be somebody other than who I was telling him to be. So I let him get above it all, in a bush plane … and whammo … that was it! Turns out he needed to fly. He needed to see things from above. And he’d been trying to tell me all along.

HOME RUN …

Almost home with my current deadline. DH is almost boarding his plane back from South Africa.

And I ran almost an hour … hot, but good. In the woods. Hey, I almost feeling like doing the dishes — but not quite.

* I am planning on giving my website a complete overhaul, a fresh new look — so if there are any author sites out there that really grab you, please tell me. And let me know why they work for you.

You know where to find me …

MY NEW BEST FRENEMY

Do you know how difficult it is to shoot a squirrel? Not one single part of his body seems to still for a nanosecond. He can’t decide whether he’s my friend or my enemy, either … especially when I’m holding the seed bag.

I think I feel about as edgy as he looks when waiting to hear on a manuscript 8-)

BIGGER

An inukshuk on our mountaintop … echoing Black Tusk, a volcanic cone in the distance.

My words in the blogosphere have been scarce of late, and will probably remain so for a while. I am saving them up for my WIPs … and I do have a few in the works at the moment.

If you need me … you know where to find me :)

WAY FINDERS

The Inukshuk I found in my forest today.

For those who might ask, Inuksuit were originally directional markers left by the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic as they traveled across the barren tundra — a vast landscape where permafrost leaves few natural landmarks. The carefully-balanced stones have different meanings, and are a language of navigation with roots deep in the Inuit culture. The markers also signify safety, hope and friendship. They say that someone has walked this way, that you are not alone.

The inukshuk concept has been embraced by local hikers in these hills and woods, a form of impromptu art … a strange urge people seem to have, to pick stones up from the moss, feel their heft, and temperature and shape … to balance them carefully in often very complex ways. To tell someone they were here.

The sculptures stand for a day or so, then they are gone.

And to come across one in the silent, dripping forest feels somehow …. magical. Like a story.
