Back to Fie Eoin this week. I recently bought a book called A Short History of Myth by Karen Armstrong. It breaks down myth archetypes by the type of society that people live in, starting from hunter/gatherers and moving all the way through current day myths. For a quick look at the archetypes, it has […]
If you’ve read the About Me page, or been to the website, www.stickynotestories.com, you know that I work in a radiochemistry lab. We were just starting to receive samples from England this past fall when I came up with this week’s sticky note story, Phooka Tales. It’s about a girl who works in a
If you have been reading every week, you already know that I’m a bit of a holistic self-healer (meaning I once had no health insurance and had to find alternative ways to heal myself, and picked up some books on herbal healing and aromatherapy oils). This works out really well, because I write mostly fantasy/historical
I love fight scenes. I don’t mean swords and guns and blood (although I do enjoy my fair share of those as well), but yelling, screaming, name-calling goodness. I love the conflict between two people on opposite sides, who both think they are in the right. I love exploring both sides of the argument, and
Another week, another sticky. And of course it’s from Fie Eoin! It looks a little messy, sure, but the stickies don’t always come out perfect. On this one I had a great idea for a plot point – and the next day it sounded not so great, so I crossed it out. Probably in two
And we are back to Fie Eoin, folks. I can only stay away from it for so long. This week’s sticky is from an interesting little scene in which Kaye finds herself lost in a vision of the past. She’s watching the break between the Faye and the Seven Tribes, but more than watching it
Forgive me for not getting this up yesterday. I was in the process of extirpating all of my insides via my throat and couldn’t find time to remove myself from the bathroom and make it into the computer room. And speaking of feeling as if you are going to die all day, we have another
This is a fun sticky with two different stories on it. The top half of the sticky is talking about Lane’s Girl, where I’ve been trying to decide where to start. I thought of writing the first scene where Rebecca dies as the prologue, and then jumping back to tell the story of her and
Today we are really mixing it up. Today we get a sticky note from After Ancient – 07’s disaster of a Nano novel. I went into this one with only a short blurb about the world and a vague idea of a train wreck, a bad guy modeled after someone I worked with, a doctor,
Another sticky from Pike’s Revenge, which is probably going to take up the majority of the stickies for a little while, since that is what I have most recently been working on and therefore the stickies are closer to hand then the others. Bar, also known as Barracuda because I like naming my warriors
