😀
The new proof came in, to illustrate (haha) the difference, I put the old version and the new one side by side. I spent the afternoon tweaking the margins and title page, and fixing one illustration and the back cover. As soon as those get out of review, I’ll be hitting publish because this version…

Sensing
read: my book, so. many. times. taste: nothing.. see: The upload progress bar….too many times this evening. hear: Mass Effect 3 – Alex is playing ahead of me, I’m hoping it’s not spoilers. smell: Well, I really should take a shower…I meant to…but got distracted by formatting the book touch: trackpad…in frustration…for much too long think: it’s weird…

Hopefully these will continue improving as I keep having “ah-ha!” moments at random…

Pictures
I realized that I haven’t put up any pictures this week. I took some nice shots of one of our “sets” while we were filming last weekend, and I also painted another piece for my room. So I figured instead of waiting and writing a post on each, and forgetting again, that I’d just put…

Eventide
Evening, night, dusk, twilight, eventide – my creativity ignites when the moon rises and the stars glisten hello. My best writing and musing takes place, ideas, inspiration, and lately second winds that send me into mad sewing escapades. So when Creative Every Day mentioned that February’s theme was night, two things happened: my inner night…
