Hey, all. Sorry I've been in absentia lately. I'm still around, just not on DA very much. If you need to get a hold of me, or need me to look at something for you, try contacting me via my web site email. Haven't had much time for illustration lately.

Hope you're all making mad crazy art!

Oh, that sounds grim! Are you at least making jewelry? Getting that creative mojo cookin' somehow?

As you are WELL aware, I've been wallowing in Supernatural fandom (what is WRONG with me?!) and currently, I'm participating in a LiveJournal challenge to write a novella (at least 10,000 words, at any rate,) in the SPN universe. I've actually been far more productive with it than I ever was with my original stuff. I've already surpassed the minimum word count and will probably level out at 25,000.

Part of me finds this very sad. But part of me realizes this was such a blessing in disguise. I incorporated my OCs into this SPN folly and you know what? It was enlightening. That damned First Precious Novel needed to be purged. I spent so effing much time writing and re-writing and stopping and re-starting and tweaking and stalling and...you get the picture. I had WAY too many expectations of myself and that story. And no deadline to finish it. AND no excitement to propel me forward. In threading my characters through the SPN project, though, I'm learning much about actual writing. I've latched onto ladies who, in their workaday lives, are technical writers and English majors and other handy things. Not only is it fun as hell, it's growing my skills. And I'm slowly daydreaming about scenarios outside of the SPN world. I can more readily see how to bring future stories together and in getting to know my preferred genre...modern paranormal/horror...I'm getting to know what the readers want of it too. I feel like it's one big, beautiful experiment with some very real and applicable results. But time will tell.

Bet THAT was more than you wanted to know! So what's changing this fall to get the writing going?

LOL, nothing wrong with Supernatural fandom, ever! (more pictures of Dean, please.) I'm so glad it's loosened up your muse!

Now that it's fall my two writing groups are hoping to get together a bit more, which means more deadlines for me, which hopefully I will meet.

Still doing jewelry. Got a couple of small craft shows coming up I need to get some more work done for and I've been participating in blog challenges which also has been making me work. I just need deadlines, I guess!
