Creative Musing

The creative process fascinates me with its complexity and multi-layered interaction. The connection between the idea and the result, the motivation, inspiration, and filtering that produces the unique children of our minds and hearts is what draws me.

I won the 4th Cycle of Inanna’s Game!!

I am stoked! The game people give us prompts and we have to pick on from each of three categories and incorporate them into a story. It was a blast! And I got the most votes!!

I am already looking forward to the next one!

Anyone can play. Visit wenebojo.com to see the rules, etc.

The fourth book in the Badger Hole Bar is The Gift of Fashion. It is funny and poignant, just what this time of year needs! https://amzn.to/2Pi5xzu

See whose major makeover the Clothier tackles - and why it has a much larger impact than she ever thought.

Another week, another great anthology! This one focuses on the challenges that we all face when we use the internet. From the dangers of malicious programs to the remote execution of virtual attacks, the talented authors that contributed to this group of stories have given us stories that will entertain you, and some that might even give you a better appreciation for the dangers that can be all too real in our digital world. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KPPBKL6

Life has a way of opening old scars and in that way it reminds us that we still bleed for things we left in the past.

I saw a photo of you and I heard your voice. (via theprocast)

This struck such a strong chord of memory, that I almost cried.

We kill time figuratively, but time kills us literally

When you feel guilty about wasting time...

Halloween candy is like the gateway drug to holiday eating.

This is just SO right!

The next book in the Standard of Honor Series has been published and it is awesome! Love the way the transition from one world to the next has been handled. We absolutely love the snarky black cat Familiar!

It's all about the stories.

We can read a book either in print or digital format, or, more rarely, listen to the audio version. And for most stories, that’s about it.

Wenebojo is changing this.

Our final stage in bringing Wenebojo to life has begun with a Kickstarter to gather those that want to be part of our journey. Help us craft this new way of experiencing stories.

We are Wenebojo.

People don’t become more introverted when they get older. The introverts just stop giving a crap about what anyone else thinks and stay home.

This is SO true! I resemble this remark!!

Another in a series that comes from the very talented Phoenix Prime author collective. Great indie writers, awesome story arc!

Is it just me or do other people get homesick from books? Like, you miss the comforting feel of the characters, the fandom, and the world created by the author?

[creativesensemusing]

This is the way I want all of my readers to feel. The gaping hole in their hearts when they do not visit my worlds frequently enough.

[creativesensemusing]

This is the first public word of something that is amazing and new. I am so pleased to be involved in the early testing of this. I cannot wait to see it go live this summer!

As a person who struggles with depression, I find it to be life’s ultimate irony that my blood type is B-positive.

[creativesensemusing]

Awesome irony, love the humor!

A program called Phoenix Prime is being held for a select group of writers. It is busily stretching and changing the way that they have written up to now at many levels. The program is a Ph.D. level 4-6-month long, intensive education into the core business of writing. It addresses not only how productive we are but all aspects of the business of being a writer. Directed at the indie author, this program has already seen members of the group quadruple their daily production, learn how to analyze the emotional content of the writing, and begin to understand some of the legal exposures of the career that we wish to succeed at.

It is exhilarating, exhausting, and mind blowing! When you want to do something so badly that you get up in the middle of the night to write down ideas, when you forget to eat or drink for hours because you're creating a world to share, a dedication to your craft and to its reception becomes a driving force in your life. That is what the participants in the Phoenix Prime program are experiencing.

The program is aptly named. Surviving this course will be difficult and rewarding. The hard-working writers in this program will have come through fire and ash to rise again as stronger and better writers. More confident, better equipped, and more aware.

Be kind to all of our participants in the Phoenix Prime program. They are fueled by coffee, slavishly attached to their laptops, and finding out just how unnecessary sleep might be. Look for a large number of publications from our group over the next few months. This will give you a view on the progress that they are making in their trial by fire.

The changing face of independent authors and writers has created an intrinsic alteration in the underlying foundation of a creative field. Watch to see the Phoenix Prime group fly.
