Creeping Goblins

I felt this picture was appropriate as it's overcast and rainy out and I'm at the tail end of a cold ( the tired and runny nose end). So, today I'm mostly packing art to ship, sketching and writing and other low impact activities. We did all of our Christmas decorating yesterday, which was really fun. Next I need to prepare for my mother's arrival, who's spending the holidays here with us in Toronto. She'll be staying in my studio room so I need to clear that out and I'm capable of making incredible studio messes.

I'm also looking ahead to next year, when Maddy book one will be finished, and thinking about self publishing a project. I have three contenders for books I'd love to do. Maybe I'll feature them a bit. What I did find doing Marrowbones is that self publishing combined with working with publishers is probably the best way to keep up a steady enough stream of income to survive. Or at least eat. I may get a [art time job next year so I can self publish more. I'm not sure yet......
