warmth
FLEECE! I have a fleece jacket, it’s soft and warm, and makes me soooo happy. Because now I can go outside with a jacket and I’m not still freezing. I’ve been wearing a track-ish jacket for a few years because it’s small enough to fit under other jackets, but it wasn’t providing quite enough warmth.…

Have the Courage (inspiring wednesday)

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
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…

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,…

A little bit

New-ish-ness
If you’re reading this on the blog right now (and chances are, you are), you’ve probably noticed a major color change. I missed having a custom theme ( had one once, a long long time ago) so I thought I’d make a custom background for my current theme, so it’s still a bit more me,…

Prep.
Started working on the revisions last night, just doing drawings on paper. I only did two, but they’re coming along pretty well I think.I’ve learned a lot since last year – I’m keeping much more in mind as I create the world of Jane and I’m keeping a copy of a Magic School Bus book…

Illustrating
In between making presents and general living-ness, I’m thinking about offering to illustrate a book for a friend. This is new to me, but everyone tells me that my style is great for illustrating kid’s books. Right now I’m thinking that I’ll be using pens and scanning them into the computer and then going over…

Hi November!
It’s November – thanksgiving, black friday, cold weather, crunchy leaves, the end of colds (please please please)? I’m happy it’s November! Every year my grandma, mom and I would go out at like, 4:30am on Black Friday and go Christmas shopping. We were good at it too, we’d spend Thanksgiving afternoon making game plans while…
