    Obsessions

    Didn’t get around to blogging yesterday (obviously) because I was way. too. tired. Weather changes do weird things and rain makes me sleepy. I might have allergies, but Claritin seems to give me headaches (or maybe it’s all in my head?). Anyway, I’m mixing “authentic thursday” in with today’s “media friday” (see? renamed, because youtube…

    Artsy

    Almost every night for the last couple weeks I’ve been working on the new illustrations for my book. This time around (almost exactly a year later) I’m doing it completely differently. Last year, I sat down in my studio, with pencils and paint, and sketched and painted immediately. I didn’t really plan out what I…

    Brain Dead Monday

    It’s Monday again! yay. We had an exciting weekend, and I’m really tired. Putting words into the box is becoming a somewhat difficult task on the day I made up to be the easiest. 😛 See? easy right? words just aren’t coming to me today. I haven’t completely woken up yet, apparently. So I guess…

  • Follow Friday

    Follow Friday

    I *never* do this on twitter or anything, and I’m not sure if I’ll actually do this every week, but I thought I’d try it. A couple blogs, articles, songs, videos, or podcasts I’ve been reading/listening to this week (or longer). For your pleasure and nerdiness: The Nerdist podcast. Hilariously funny and geeky and full…

  • Authentic Thursday

    Authentic Thursday

    Honestly, this one scares me a little. Because for some reason, the times that I’m honest and vulnerable here tend to blow up in my face and it’s really painful. So I haven’t posted anything here below surface level for a very very long time, because I’m scared to. I’m scared of what will happen…

  • Inspirational Wednesday

    Inspirational Wednesday

    Earlier this year I signed up for an email list called The Brave Girls Club. Everyday they send me an email with a letter. I don’t read all of them, but sometimes (a lot of times) they write something that I *really* needed to hear and know about myself and it makes me really happy.…

  • Artistic Tuesday

    Artistic Tuesday

    Last night I went to an artist panel hosted by the local creative arts association that I just joined. The topic was basically how we write ant talk about art, and how we *should* be and what ways are helpful to engage the public. We had a journalist, historian, and a director from a gallery…

  • Made Up Monday

    Made Up Monday

    There’s sun today! Well, there was and I was excited about it. The other day I looked up a story I started working on when I was 11. I got three “chapters” in and never really finished. The inspiration and muse just sort of went away for it. I was re-reading it the other day,…
