December Update

NaNoWriMo:

Well last month of course was NaNoWriMo, and I finished it with 50,181 words. Gravedigger is part of a trilogy so I will have to do a lot more outlining and write the rough drafts for the other two novels before I even know where everything is.  With that in mind I will end up publishing some other books first, and that means you probably won't see it for another ten years or so.  I'm sorry... long term goals...

December:

I still don't know what to get anyone for Christmas this year, so part of my time will be dedicated to figuring that out.  Also I would like to wish anyone reading this a Merry Christmas!

I will also be working on a children's book, a story about a brontosaurus who goes around inhaling poodles like a vacuum cleaner.  My sister helped me come up with it, and it is true hilarity!

I hope to publish it sometime next year... short term goals!

January:

My new years resolution for next year is to set myself both a writing challenge, and a drawing or painting challenge every month of the year.  These goals will change from one month to the next, and I will adapt according to how things seem to be going, and what I need to practice on, and what I want to come out with.

Also I would like to wish anyone reading this a happy new year!

Don't feel like you have to set goals if you don't want to.  I know I set myself all sorts of creative goals but it seems to work for me, and I feel like I'm having fun, so whatever you do just be sure not to stress out too much.  :)

2019?

My goals for 2019 are to survive and keep doing art and writing.

If you scroll down far enough you can find my broken promises for 2018.

I guess life never hands you enough free time to do what you want.

But I'm just gonna keep on keepin on regardless.


P.S.  If I'm given a choice between surviving and doing art and writing, I'm gonna go with art.

I'm Back

This is the first Celtic design I've come out with since my coloring book.  Or to look at it another way, its the first knot in my next book full of Celtic Awesomeness and next time I'm gonna try for 50 patterns instead of just 32!

But I'm not in any particular hurry, or trying to be prolific or anything, (yet), because I've got lots of other artistic and literary endeavors to tackle first.  I'll just come out with a new knot every now and then when I feel like it.  :)
