The Next Installment of "Spells of Artistry" is UP!

I am very excited to announce that the next next installment of "Spells of Artistry" is up on my website and I have the honor of interviewing up-and-coming electronic musician Hollan Holmes who has released his CD - A Distant Light. 

His music has been featured on the internet and the highly acclaimed ‘Hearts of Space’ program site. Hollan’s musical artistry casts a spell on the your  mind, calming and clearing it for the day ahead, for the project before you, or from the day you have left behind. Check it out and learn about his process and the people and things which inspire him!

Check it out at my WEBSITE! And say hi!  -Kara

  

"Spells of Artistry" is Up!

I am so excited to share with you that "Spells of Artistry" is finally up on my website! This has been a dream of mine for some time -- to have a place where I can interview people in the artistic community, showcase their talents, and inspire creative minds to expand and explore their own horizons. It is the first step in what I hope will also include someday an artists' forum. In the future I will be interviewing artists from all areas of the liberal arts, from painters to playwrights, from dancers to  DJ's, and from illustrators to illusionists. We will explore both traditional artistry and popular aesthetics!

And I am very honored to have, as my first Spell Caster at "Spells of Artistry", Deanna Molinaro.  Her "not-for-children" books will tickle your funny bone and chill your spine at the same time! Is is an honor to have her at my website. Click HERE to check it out!

Moon Energy!

Moon Energy is excellent tonight. I am enjoying writing so much! 2000+ words tonight. Focusing on the Space Pirate Romance. These characters are coming alive for me. Easiest story to write so far. I love nights like this!!! Hugs and happy writing to all! Just go to it--you can do it!

Kara's Current Writing Stats

Working Title: Sexy Space Pirates--   scifi/steampunk romance,  a little under  35,000 words - 1/3 of the way. Shooting for February contests.  


Working Title: VFFTC04-- paranormal romance, completed and awaiting contest and readers' feedback.  Approx. 80,000 words. 


Working Title: Let Go, Susan--   old paranormal YA romance, found and dusted off, nausea from reread has passed, outline totally overhauled and plot twists added, revised chapters completed in my head (sort of) and awaiting my fingers. It's basically 85% new. This one has been a trip so far!


Working Title: ToD Series: Book One-- the first book in this epic fantasy series is completed and polished. I am rereading the final four chapters one last time. I  just have to decide if I want to cut this book into three books with two cliffhangers or leave it as is.  Approx. word count as one book? Too many to admit. 


Working Title: ToD Series: Book Two and Book Three-- I am revising. 


Mood: Happy but antsy!

Banner Up!

Woohoo! Time to write after spending all day getting the banner up (pictures, rotoscoping, and adding a little this and that).


This weekend's focus: Nanowrimo and editing three books almost ready to go. How's everyone's Nanowrimo coming along? I confess, I'm far behind but I guess that's life. Better to have too many things to do than to be stuck shoving pencils up my nose while staring at a blank page.


Cats seem to take the cue I'm going upstairs to my writing cave--ah, my minion. One sleeping on the side desk next to my third computer. The other sleeping at my feet, which is sweet and warm but causes me unease, ever aware at any moment I might forget and roll her over with the chair's wheels. Hopefully not, but she's been warned. Purrrrr is her content, laid-back response. Such nonchalance.


Expecting to review books I've read this past week, all great reads. Keep you posted. Have a great day!
