Saturday was kinda’ lame, a day or errands. But Sunday was nice. Sunny, and my sweetie and I walked to the local art museum (free on the 2nd Sunday of the month), and then to the community theater downtown which was playing “Neverending Story” which I’ve never seen, and so seeing it on the big screen seemed like a good idea. Some coffee in the sun with bread and hummus. One of those super pleasant days.

Staurday wasn’t a total write-off though, I did do some more work this weekend on the painting of my sweetie. Personally, I LOVE in-progress pictures, and so I’m going to keep posting them for those who share the same like.

Had writer’s group last night (Thursday), and it reminded me how much I want to dive back into writing. I have only one more “Girl Genius” to draw (the strips I’ve been drawing run through the end of next week over at Girl Genius). I have been loving LOVING LOVING drawing it, but it takes a LOT of time to draw each page, and so all my side projects have been on hold for the last couple months.

So yeah, there are two novels and a graphic novel I’m “working” on writing. Plus the “Little Dee” script (although it’s currently with my editor as I await feedback). Of course it’s always more than that. I’ve been itching to do some oil paintings. I can barely contain it. But the prep work is slow.

I can say this about winter: it’s fecking cold and grey and slushy and miserable and you just don’t want to leave you house which is exacerbated when you don’t actually HAVE to leave your house because you work at home, BUT you get a whole lot of work done.

Oh, and I just finished reading a small hand-bound book of short stories. Somewhat real? somewhat magical-realism? Lots of beautiful imagery. It’s called “Small Fierce Things” by LJ Moore. It has lovely little illustrations throughout, and is touching and curious and strange. It’s even hand-sewn using fishing net that she found washed up on the beaches of Svalbard (yes, the North Pole!) (which is how I heard of her, through my friendCedra who went on the same trip up north). There’s a sample story from the book you can read here, and you can purchase it here.

Very excited. Here in Glens Falls they’re having a “24 hour play fest.” 10 teams of: 1 writer, 1 director, 4 actors each. All teams meets separately February 28th in the evening, the writers write all night, and the director/actors begin rehearsals at 9 in the morning, and the plays go up for one show of all of them back-to-back that following night.

And I’ve been chosen as one of the writers! What fun!

Had a good weekend. Ran errands, sat around sipping coffee, finish the first draft of the Little Dee graphic novel. Good times.

So, my hands are never idle. This weekend I did some more watercolor drawings (will post in a later blog, I haven’t scanned them in yet). But I also pulled out a piece of soapstone and have begun carving it into a ram. Fun!

As mentioned, throughout January and February, check out the fill-in art I’m doing for Phil and Kaja over at Girl Genius!

So, I finally took “One Way” down from spacetrawler.com, and that site is now exclusively designated for the Spacetrawler archive. That will simplify things for me (double uploading) quite a bit. Yay!

Played me some racquetball. Got my taxes half done. Finally obtained the missing high res files of my old strip “Bruno” and fixed January’s strips over at brunostrip.com. Submitted some writing samples to a local theatrical event. Bought drawing paper. Dreamed of oil paint. Good times.

Yup, back in upstate New York. Madly trying to catch up, for although I did a lot of work while away, I didn’t attend to all of it. Still got one more doodle. An abbey deep in the desert, quiet and beautiful enough to make monkhood almost seem appealing!

Nothing much of news. Getting ready for my trip to Albuquerque in a couple days (I’ll be tabling at the ABQ Comic Con, come to it!). It’ll be cold there, but nice to be in a different place AND in non-subzero temps. Plus I’ll be staying with good friends, including Fred (the one who has helped me with all the science!), where I’ll enjoy good company and good food.

Had a lovely lunch with some art friends today. Ran errands. Drew. Good times.
