Another move forward

I had a really good writing day today. I have nearly finished the story I began in my gothic class in May. I’m glad I went back to finish it. I actually lined out about five other stories today that really need to go back to be finished. I know they are close, but I … Continue reading Another move forward

Chaos to structure

I got my final planning board today. It’s my yearly one. I’m really tempted to use November 1st as my year start because, as many of my long-time readers will know, I like to do my planning in October. It just feels normal for me to do it that way. We’ll see what happens. There … Continue reading Chaos to structure

Light on a commission

I did something today that I don’t often do: I finished a commission piece. I don’t do commission work. It’s not very fulfilling for me. Whenever people ask me, I just flat out say no. But recently, a collector who has several of my artworks asked me to do another which is similar to another … Continue reading Light on a commission

Designer and not doing it well

I have played designer person today. I’m not saying I did it well. My boards are all hanging. There’s nothing on them, but they are on the walls. They are all within reach. I will have to take them down if I want to write of them, but that was the plan. They are visible … Continue reading Designer and not doing it well

Boards have arrived

I got some new white boards today. I ordered them over the weekend, but they arrived today. One board is for a quarter of a year. The other three boards are a month each. Can you tell where I’m going with this? I’ve been trying to figure out my planning and I’ve looked at several … Continue reading Boards have arrived

More time

Last night I wrote about Arlyn’s book and how is falling under my Sacred Knight series. What I didn’t mention is that I’d also love to get around to doing an illustrated edition of the series. I’d like to redo the maps and actually have sketches of places in the books. I think it would … Continue reading More time

I might not have a title

I may not have a title, but I came up with a logo for Arlyn’s books within my Sacred Knight series. No, none of Arlyn’s books (and even the plural might be a little premature) are out yet, but they are definitely coming. Maybe I was just waiting for the logo to pop into my … Continue reading I might not have a title

Bad Overdrive

Something about a mindset… sometimes when it’s set, it’s like a car that won’t change gears. That’s how I was yesterday and my mind was set in “Bad Overdrive!” Yes, complete with exclamation point. Fortunately I realized I really needed to go to bed and get some sleep. I woke up feeling much better. The … Continue reading Bad Overdrive

Streak

If I don’t write this, I won’t be writing any blog at all today. Probably no one cares. Cheers.

Frame acquired

Made my trip to Boise to get a frame for my picture and I also found a nice long dress for the artist reception. After I dropped the friend who had gone with me for all this shopping off, I went to visit my son. We went to dinner, then a walk on the Greenbelt, … Continue reading Frame acquired
