A peek into my writing journal



Putting pen to paper, I started the writing process of "Under Contract". I am using a 7x10 Canson mix media journal. This type of journal can be purchased at Hobby Lobby, Micheals or online at any art material store. I don't know if you can see/notice in the picture above on the cover a rectangular box penned in the center. If so, that's my markings lining up my thoughts the size the book pages will actually be. I use this as my gage while writing. So I'll know when to start on a new page. 




I love the spiral bound. It's easy page turning. The pages are extremly durably thick which leaves room for less page wrinkling. 




Look at all those messy marks! First draft…a work in progress! #stillwriting #onpageninety


So slowly "Under Contract" is coming to life. That's one of the perks of self publishing you can pace yourself taking one step at a time. While you are still working on all your other timely projects raising a family. 

Here you can see my planning of "Under Contract". As well, I share a snipped what the story's all about towards the end of the post.

See where I started pen to paper here. 

Have you used a Canson journal before?
Have you self published?
What's you writing journal look like?
Have you read a novel in verse before?

Flipping pages

My mom always saves the wedding issue of the
Mississippi magazine and this year she brought it
to me about the time my oldest daughter was graduating
form high school. So I am just now getting to it.
 Flipping through the pages makes me think of all the weddings 
I photographed over a course of ten years, the people I met,
the experiences I had and the lives that touched me
as well as me touching theirs.

Saying all that confirms I miss photographing weddings, 
I miss those times but I am also very thankful
for where I am at in my life. Times move on
and we have to go with it to receive
 the next set of blesses that await us.




As I continue to flip it makes me think of each 
of the precious young couples and what life will 
bring them during their married life. I pray for each 
of them as well as anyone entering into married life as well 
as those long timers. May God protect your marriage…
