I didn’t swear I wouldn’t mention writing on Fridays, did I? This is a writer’s update, but also about life and my evolution in a wider sense… OK, maybe I’m cheating, but with less posts available, I need to cram stuff in the longer-but-less-frequent ones! Anyway, here’s the thing. I scanned the original illustrated story [...]

Holidays non-break
Hope you all had a great Christmas. Me, I just spent it at home, apart from the obligatory visits to mum’s (24th evening and 25th lunch) – also because I ate too much (or too differently) and was sick on the 25th afternoon! So I spent this long weekend as usual, reading, drawing and watching [...]

no more daily prompts
They don’t actually inspire me to write posts, so I unsubscribed from the whole blog. Sorry WP guys, not helping me! I’m going to ramble on my own as usual. So Nov.1st, National Holiday, spent preparing my own private calendars and coloring the next Happiness is… vignettes – and writing, of course. I’m adding a [...]

Birth of a cover
I already described this on a private Facebook group, but it was only with images of the various steps, so I’ll try to elaborate on that “post”. It was originally done as “create a cover in 5 steps” (see the #5 again?) but let’s see if it’s still 5 or more. 1) pick a photo [...]

Battle of graphic novels
… or Mercenaries?! vs SKYBAND. Have you read Ludwig’s guest post on Leigh’s blog last week? I promised to reply to him… so here I am! I did “the gathering” of those five for a “contest” (it was by a friend, who had only two entries, so we were both winners… no comment on that…) [...]

Indie Publishing Week 2
I wish I had brought my camera as on my way back I saw a wonderful sunset with a very red sun. It was gone by the time I got home, sigh. Anyway, after struggling with Photoshop this morning, here’s what we came up with: Ladies and gentlemen, the book cover for Air, now on [...]

What’s in a bag?
Last year some (female) bloggers showed the contents of their bags. Then Stephen mentioned his notebooks (BTW, Dear Wife’s gift is really gorgeous!), so I thought I’d share what’s in this writer’s bag. Here’s the evidence. The moleskine is almost full, so I’ll start the new one (that I got as a gift that very [...]

My other (former) Muse
This has been (tiled) on my desktop since 2000. The beginning of the obsession with the Muse, already mentioned Keanu Reeves. The other guy (yeah, he’s a guy. I LOVE long-haired guys! ) is Mark Slaughter, frame taken from the Days gone by video I posted a few days ago. Slaughter were my favorite band [...]

Story Wednesday and procrastination
Wow, another Story Wednesday! Don’t forget to hop off to Serial Central to read the third part of my modern-day Cinderella when you’re done here! The fairy tale will be over next week… but another will immediately start! Longer and hopefully more original, but I’ll talk about it next week. Now I want to talk [...]

My name is Barb, and I'm a writer, sometimes an artist, mostly a world-creator and storyteller of fantasy worlds. I have more than one pen-name and write in more than one genre.
I blog about life, the universe... OK, you can guess I'm a writer, but not Douglas Adams, so I'll leave the Hitchhiker's Guide aside. And no, I'm not going to spam you by only rambling about my books - if you're interested, just go to the dedicated pages, thank you.
This is my blog, about the "creative barbwire" that I am - there's no rose without thorns, right?
Enjoy...-
