Today I was planning on putting up a sticky that I wrote in Key West last week – which is why I didn’t get a sticky up last weekend – but as it turns out Key West is much too relaxing to write anything, even stickies. Instead I bring you a sticky I wrote at work the week […]
Today’s stickies are all from Fie Eoin, and they are on very small stickies this week. I changed jobs recently (well, I changed areas of the lab I work in – I’m still with the same company) and all I could find were these tiny stickies for the first couple weeks of the new job.
I am putting today’s sticky “note” at the bottom of the post, instead of the top, because I don’t want you to get lost in the giant purple mass that you see below without some explanation. Read them from left to right by rows (there are black lines between each row), and I apologize for
If you know me at all, or have read back at all in this blog, you will know that I cannot stay away from Fie Eoin for too long. Even the day before NaNo started this past year and I should have been working on Phooka Tales I was instead storylining Fie Eoin. Most of
I can see already that keeping on the Sunday schedule for my stickies is going to become difficult as the summer grows. It is too beautiful here to sit at the computer for any long amount of time. This week’s sticky is from the beginning of Fie Eoin. If you haven’t visited www.stickynotestories.com yet and
Last year for our one year anniversary, my husband took me on a surprise trip to Oregon’s coast. It was amazing, and it was almost exactly as I had pictured the countryside surrounding Fie Eoin.

Another sticky that comes from my musings on mythology in the context of Fie Eoin. This time I was working on the Hero Myth, in which one person (the hero) goes on a journey (physical, mental, or emotional), has to fight against many things, and ends up with some gift for the community. In this
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 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
