Michael's Babble: Reading and writing... and more reading

http://authormichaelcrane.blogspot.com/2014/04/reading-and-writing-and-more-reading.html

Inane babble from an indie author. Wednesday, April 2, 2014. Reading and writing. and more reading. Even though I haven't had time to do a lot of writing, I've been reading a lot. I think one of the best things you can do when you're not writing is to read. You never know what's going to inspire you. Or give you that creative bug you thought was long, long gone.

Michael's Babble: March 2013

http://authormichaelcrane.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Inane babble from an indie author. Wednesday, March 27, 2013. Getting past the first draft. One of my biggest struggles when it comes to writing has always been the first draft. The main problem is I start a story and then halfway through I say, "Ugh. This is crap! I need to stop that. Seriously. How do you know for sure? If you're on the first draft, then of course it's going to look like utter crap. That's why it's a first draft. You need to finish the story. So, I need to remind myself; when it comes ...

Michael's Babble: October 2012

http://authormichaelcrane.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Inane babble from an indie author. Thursday, October 11, 2012. Here's a post. because I'm slacking on the ol' blog again! I know. You're all shocked. I really need to do a better job of keeping this thing updated. But once I finally got into a wonderful relationship, I knew it was time to get out and finally find a place. I've taken a bunch of pictures of our cats taking advantage of our new home- and constantly stealing my chair. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 9 short stories about people trying to get by ...

Michael's Babble: BookLikes: My new home away from home

http://authormichaelcrane.blogspot.com/2014/03/booklikes-my-new-home-away-from-home.html

Inane babble from an indie author. Monday, March 3, 2014. BookLikes: My new home away from home. I think I've mentioned in a post somewhere that I've been blogging on BookLikes. It's a blogging site where you mostly talk about books- or anything else you'd like to talk about. I've been blogging there for the past few months, and I have to say it looks like I'm doing a pretty decent job of keeping the blog updated. I know. Odd, ain't it? So, if you'd like to visit my new home away from home, click here.

Julaine in Fiberspace: Embroidered Beads and My Heart Valve

http://julaine.blogspot.com/2011/07/embroidered-beads-and-my-heart-valve.html

Not always well-behaved, even in the artistic life. Tuesday, July 19, 2011. Embroidered Beads and My Heart Valve. It's hard to imagine that it's been 15 years since I was diagnosed. This did take a little time, but I wanted to share a tutorial on some of what I've been working on: embroidered pony beads. Yes, there is something you can do with those little plastic kids' beads. Latest update on a new cardiologist - I have an appointment in 2 weeks with someone who specializes in valve disorders. Keep ...

Julaine in Fiberspace: On the Mannequin - Wild Fibers Wrap

http://julaine.blogspot.com/2013/03/on-mannequin-wild-fibers-wrap.html

Not always well-behaved, even in the artistic life. Sunday, March 03, 2013. On the Mannequin - Wild Fibers Wrap. There's a new date for the silent art auction that I'm participating in, so I'm now pacing myself in the completion of the quilt that will be donated. Here are some photos of the "wild fibers wrap" so far.I was going to stitch the squares together. Nah. Buttons? Some of the wild fibers - some dupioni silk and panne velvet, cut into 1/2 inch strips.

Julaine in Fiberspace: July 2012

http://julaine.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Not always well-behaved, even in the artistic life. Monday, July 09, 2012. So in the process of cutting circles of wool felt for buttons.I became bored. Even knowing that I would be attaching these to some upcoming nuno-felted pieces with beads, other buttons, and some perle cotton didn't help.I was not inspired! Wait, what are these narrow multi-color pieces? Pin them until they're dry. Oh, yeah! It was pretty easy to get that look! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My Shop on Etsy. View my complete profile.

Michael's Babble: New slice-of-life short story collection coming soon!

http://authormichaelcrane.blogspot.com/2014/04/new-slice-of-life-short-story.html

Inane babble from an indie author. Friday, April 4, 2014. New slice-of-life short story collection coming soon! I originally announced this on my author FB page, but I'll also post it here. T year, but because real life got involved (and got too real at times), I ended up putting it off for a while and worked on. To see if it was worth going forward. So far, I've heard really good things and it looks like it's going to be a reality sooner rather than later. I'm not sure when this will all be completed, b...
