Category: Work Wednesday

My brain is stuck. And stuck good. So, it was time for a bit of distraction. I finished up two pieces in the kitchen update. The formerly green pantry got a tuxedo look, while the one-hundred-year-old table has been stripped, oiled, waxed, and the base painted. I found a date of 1928 once I stripped it.

You can see the original green pantry in the table photos. The chairs are next. I’m thinking white with b&w gingham seats.

While I was away, we went on a location hunt in the real town that is the inspiration for Duxbridge. Found a nice, spooky basement which was conveniently located in the house I’m also using as a location.

I’m off for a week of much-needed relaxation and rejuvenation.

Experience, experience, experience. I think it’s probably the most important piece to my writing. How can I write about something I have never experienced?

So, when I had the chance to participate in an African Drumming-Singing-Dance group event, I could not pass up the chance.

I am so glad I did. It was uplifting and life-affirming.

Now, back to the actual work of writing.

My search history is probably a prosecutor’s dream. Murder, body disposal, tracking apps, weaponry (although I do have an actual expert I consult with on most weapons.), not to mention various art thefts and counterfeiting.
