Episode 14 - (Almost) burning down a hotel - but not setting off the alarm, and going with it when things come easy.

Hello all! Hope you guys are looking for an episode with a hella long title (and, to be completely honest, this was the shortest version I could agree upon. . .with myself) So, I'm back at work. Shortest retirement EVER, which is fine, but does mean that I am not having as much time to write. That being said. . .I am writing a lot more easily now that I've pivoted back to the book that I was writing before this podcast started. Such is life, sometimes you just have to roll with the punches of what is happening and working at the moment. Sometimes I fight with fate too often. Not today.

Episode 13 - I'm a cheater, Starting Over and Being A Movie Star

Hey everyone, it's Ophelia! Sorry I've been gone for a couple of weeks. I've been out and about traveling with one of my sons. Things don't go as planned. We ended up in different locations (a different country than we had intended!) and I didn't write ANYTHING for "When the Sun and Moon Were Ours" as planned. But. . . .I DID write a good amount for another book that I've been working on. Find out about my misadventures and what this other book is about.

Episode 12 - Mr. Nightmare, Great Songs and People That Are Smarter Than Me

Hey there - Ophelia here! Today I'm talking about how I have nightmares. . .and how I genuinely think they are part of another reality. I know, weird. (Even I think it's a bit weird) Anyways, it's got me thinking about writing a character that can manipulate dreams. This sends me on a whole journey of thinking about the not so normal abilities that my characters and the setting can have. Love to hear from you all! Happy listening!

I'm Writing a Book. . .Kinda Trailer

Episode 11 - Fake Identities, Into The Wild Alone and Everyday Failures

Want to know my real identity? Well, get in line ;) Today I'm talking about expectations I'm failing at, how I'm coming to grips with that, how I can make my mute character communicate more and how nature is just constantly shaping my life and my book. (and I also talk about a million other things today - get ready for the ADD ride of your life cause I'm a little bit all over the place. . .hopefully in a good way.
