The lanky cat

There might be a vampire story coming. I’m often asked if I have any vampire stories. Other than my Weblinks comic, I haven’t really had a vampire story come to me. I’ve had ideas, but none have seized me. Then, I binge watched Interview with the Vampire yesterday while I was working on my ACEOs. … Continue reading The lanky cat

Getting there

I worked a lot on the images for my ACEOs today. Found out that I had at some point missed one. I can’t tell you how many times I counted them, so I’m not sure when this extra one came in. Surprise! But that puts me one closer. I wanted to start to get caught … Continue reading Getting there

The half plan

I used Tiimo to plan my day today. Or more accurately, I got half of it planned before Merlin really needed to go outside and I gave in to him. I figured I’d finish planning when I got to that part of my day. Let me just say that as I got near the end … Continue reading The half plan

Time to quell the voices

Well, my evening started with me watching videos on how to pull multiple images into InDesign and culminated with me breaking Merlin’s food bowl and needing to vacuum. *whistling* Only me! Now I’m trying to focus. I swear. This is me focusing. Okay, no it’s not. It’s me coming back after a few minutes of … Continue reading Time to quell the voices

The next fun step

I’m experimenting with layers on Bristol board as I’m painting the last few cards. One of the thing about painting so many cards is that I’ve had lots of consistent practice in a short period of time. I’ve gotten to try out a lot of things and worked with a lot of paint. Now, I’m … Continue reading The next fun step

Tilling and planting

I’m writing a bit early tonight because the kids and I spent the evening doing yard work and putting the garden in. Well, I should say that Little Miss and I put the garden in while Adrian cooked us dinner. I’m so happy to have a son who cooks. He’d watered the yard while I … Continue reading Tilling and planting

Any which way

Three more ACEOs finished tonight. The special Kickstarter certificate of authenticity cards have been ordered. And I’ve gotten a good start on the ebook. I feel like I’m starting to round the corner with this project. I’d love it if I could wrangle it in to mostly done this weekend and finish it up next … Continue reading Any which way

Space and time

This evening has slipped away from me. I was, however, working on my ACEO book for my Kickstarter, so I can’t say that nothing got done. My time is growing short on that, so I feel myself needing to put in some extra hours. I’m really going to have to focus down during my evenings … Continue reading Space and time

Cue the lights

I did get to see the northern lights last night, sort of. The sky looked very light as if there was a full moon, not a moon in 1st quarter. At one point, I could see a touch of pink in the sky. My phone camera saw it much better than I did. I was … Continue reading Cue the lights

Be a light (northern lights)

Here it is: blog #1,000. Woo hoo! I missed seeing the northern lights last night. My son mentioned them when we were leaving the show setup last night, but I wasn’t really paying much attention. I thought I’d might see if I can view them tonight, but I’m not going anywhere special to do so. … Continue reading Be a light (northern lights)
