After reception party

I made it through the CAC artist reception, though I’m pretty sure I proved once again that I am a writer not a speaker. The fears it drew up in me leading up to the reception was… well, not fun. I feel as if I handled all the rest of the CAC fairly easily and … Continue reading After reception party

Dragon Nebula

This is a piece that was created during my time in the Create Anyway Collective, but was not part of the class: Three pieces I created during the class will be shown and discussed tomorrow. I have no idea which of my 11 paintings were chosen for the show, so I’ll be just as surprised. … Continue reading Dragon Nebula

Holding pattern

I am on an odd precipice tonight and my thoughts are jumbled. I am certainly at a point where I could give in the thought raptors if I let them. Instead, I’m trying to comfort myself and allow some of the thoughts to roam so I can sort them. I can’t go back to where … Continue reading Holding pattern

Finishing touches being applied

Going to keep it short tonight because I’ve been working on my art website, which is now going to be mostly separate from my book website. Trying to redesign two websites at once is beginning to wear me out. But I’ll be glad when it’s done because this is going to be good. My art … Continue reading Finishing touches being applied

Halloween 2023

The cold brought out the ghosts and goblins early. Merlin wasn’t fond of it at all. He roused Cerberus, so I spent the evening trying to send a hellhound back to the underworld. I’d rather be dealing with Fenrir. It took awhile, but Cerberus is finally gone and Merlin is snoring. That hasn’t stopped the … Continue reading Halloween 2023

The engine chugs

I have a few more photographs and uploads, and then I will be ready for the reception this weekend. Other than that, the gnomes have left me with a bit of a headache today. I did have a good lunch out with a friend today. That was sweet. I did also get my audio chapter … Continue reading The engine chugs

Artist Reception Information

I’ve been promising it for a while now, and it’s finally here… information for the reception in conjunction with the art class I’ve been taking. During the past 4 months, I’ve been creating a new series of work. And not just me, but several other artists as well. My work and I are both going … Continue reading Artist Reception Information

Recording day maybe

Recorded two chapters today and when I went to edit one of them, I realized I had a bunch of noise in the track. Grrrr! So, I spent most of the day watching videos and getting my mic reset again. I’ve written down the selling now so if I get silly and try to fiddle … Continue reading Recording day maybe

Nearing goal

I’m trying to get to my routine that I was starting to fall into recently but that I was finding really worked for me. Life kept interrupting. Well, life is going to interrupt again this weekend, but I’m going to try not to let it effect me too much. It’ll be a small challenge, but … Continue reading Nearing goal

U turn delay

I started off looking forward to a long evening to get some writing and painting done. Then I ate. Now, all I want to do is go to sleep. Something didn’t make me feel good. Granted, several people I was around late last week have not been feeling good this week, so I’m hoping they … Continue reading U turn delay
