WHAT'S NEW
 
On the Alien Romances Blog, I posted "Stop and Smell the Roses", a memorial for a dear friend who passed away recently, including some of my colored pencil flower artwork. You can see it here: https://aliendjinnromances.blogspot.com/2023/08/stop-and-smell-roses-by-karen-wiesner.html
 
In a two-part article called "Pros and Cons of Taking Break from Writing" on the Alien Romances Blog, I evaluated aging, progress, and momentum as well as talked about the indisputable value breaks provide one in their particular discipline along with the damage protracted absences from said discipline can also do.

In “Read What You Love”, I talked about what conditions, if any, cultivate or discourage a love of the written word along with the importance of reading what you love, regardless of your age, the genre or content appropriateness, your gender, or what's considered your "level". In the last two segments, I reviewed Brandon Mull's Young Adult fantasy series Fablehaven and its sequel Dragonwatch as well as Joseph Delaney's Spooksworld, a Young Adult fantasy multi-series.

In “Reflections of Life", I looked back over the course of my life as an author who's looking forward to becoming an artist in retirement. I've learned to slow down and reflect on the past, savor the present, and look forward to the future. Interspersed through these ruminations each Friday, I included some of my own sketches.

In "Taking the Bucket Out of the Bucket List", I discussed the wisdom and benefits of, and strategies for, drawing up a personal bucket list as early as possible--long before the curtain of a life is drawn.
