Fake Canopic Jars

Sorry for the stillness in my blog lately. Life seems to have struck again. I accomplished that 3,000 word goal on that day way back when, and I haven't written anything since. My parents and I got iPhones, so my laptop has been relinquished to my father's grip fairly often this weekend.

I also took some time to visit the Philbrook Museum of Art and see their new ancient Egyptian exhibit. Maybe it was because it was family free day, maybe because they spelled ushabti wrong on each exhibit, or maybe I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed that day, but it was a bad day. Those have been happening to me a lot lately--don't get me wrong. Good things do happen to me, and I am grateful for them. But looking back the bad seems to outweigh the good by quite a lot.

Heartache and sorrow and disappointment are what writers live for, yeah? Well, I should be able to crack down this week and utilize my fury. I think my characters are all feeling a bit neglected from my absence. I can't say I blame them. And, thanks to the suggestion of the wonderful Camy Tang, I may relinquish my Cone of Shame for a tiara. Any name suggestions? I haven't thought of anything terribly clever.

How is your writing going? Your life? I hope it's all well--you all are in my prayers. Thanks for your constant encouragement through this turbulent month, and hopefully I'll be back to post here again tomorrow.

  2. Tiara of Tyranny? Turbulence? the Time-out Tiara?

    Yeah I don't know. Ask Crystal.
