Almost ready to relaunch

A quick blog (I think) tonight. I’ve been trying to finish up the ACEO ebook for the Kickstarter. I have 17 more pictures to place, the cover, and finishing touches to do. I might not make it tomorrow. I also decided to revarnish the ACEOs because I realized I’d used completely the wrong varnish on … Continue reading Almost ready to relaunch

The groan

Today I feel like I just swam around the bowl in a circle to end up right back where I started. I’ve been trying to work on the Kickstarter this evening, but have had very little luck actually getting anywhere. Okay, that’s not entirely true. I did get somewhere and I did gain information. But … Continue reading The groan

My maple tree

I took it a bit slower today. Continued working on the book a little, but things were going wrong and I needed to get to work, so I let it go. I didn’t go back this evening. Instead, I worked on matching varnished cards with their ACEO’s and getting them ready to send out. I … Continue reading My maple tree

I will make it through

Well, I now know InDesign better than I ever thought I would. I’m still far from an expert, but at least we’ve reached a working agreement where it does what I want it to and I don’t often swear at it. I still have the ebook to finish, but I’m nearly there. I’m probably trying … Continue reading I will make it through

Sunday funday

My son and I ate too much food out, but we went for a long bike ride along the canyon. Seemed like everyone was out today, and standing on the wall by the bridge. Geez! (grin) I got my artist cards all painted. Yes, 100 of them are now done. All of them are photographed … Continue reading Sunday funday

Finishing up projects

My youngest came home and we finished putting in the garden today. I also got the Certificate of Authenticity cards for my Kickstarter ACEO campaign and filled all those out tonight. Once step closer there. So, this is all the energy I have for tonight. I swear, this season will pass and I’ll have more … Continue reading Finishing up projects

The flow goes slow

I am completely without playful energy today. The tank is empty. I know this is temporary, that I have run myself down to fumes. That I’ve run myself out in the middle of the desert, it’s hot and I’m dehydrated. That it’s making me hallucinate that everything is okay, that I’m fine. It really is … Continue reading The flow goes slow

Decisions, decisions

So here’s a story… I once made a decision that was a good decision for me. I was happy in my decision. Then I got scared and decided that my decision was bad, because how could it ever work out for me? I rescinded my good decision I had made for myself and made another … Continue reading Decisions, decisions

Internet goes

Short blog tonight as I have no internet. I did earlier today, so I’m not sure what’s wrong. Reset everything, but the computer is still not connecting. The wind is blowing, so that’s probably the culprit. For some reason, that seems to happen a lot. Wind blows, out internet goes. Sigh. And I just don’t … Continue reading Internet goes

No goose

More ideas for the vampire story are coming along. I spoke to my son about a couple of the ideas today just to give it a little feel test. So far, so good. We got to take a long walk today after dinner. Loved getting to spend some with my boy. We saw some ducks … Continue reading No goose
