age and changing roles
ablate the inessentials
...yet some things abide

    uncomfortable world
    when the air falls silent
    everyone suffers

     alas, no one cares about the air
     unless it's gone

Current Mood: think I'll stay in for a while...

woke up with ashes
in my mouth; gave in, swallowed
and went back to bed

high bright sky and vibrant leaves

three brown heads, three red,

Weekend Activities
Completed another two and a half days of the trip report; it's 2/3rds done now.
Worked on the MFF conbook cover--that's about half done.
Mailed out some bookmarks.
Stared with amazement at the sum Oceans of the Mind wants to pay me for "We Defy Old Stars." (I'd have to sell 20+ prints to approximate!)
Started a painting for fun.

Also, bouncing because okojosan did a cool picture of Hirianthial on Iecuriel!

today some
will speak like pirates; but I
will wear black.

Added 1500 words to "Borrowed Eyes", finishing the re-write.

Printed out more bookmarks--they're selling!
Started work on the website overhaul.
Drew and scanned some sketches.

Current Mood: somber

up and down
not in and out (how to breathe
in corsets)

Yesterday's Activities
Added 2000 words to "His Neuter Face" . . . now past the rewriting and into the new second half of the story I have planned.

pewter-grey cranes by
fog-shrouded ponds pick at Fall's
brown lawns with red heads

Spent an hour driving the 20 miles to work today, but at least I got to see some sandhill cranes on my detour. :)

Yesterday's Activities
The College Novel: 400 words.
Started work on rewrite of "Borrowed Eyes," but am having a hard time figuring out how to expand this adventure story.
Tossed existing MFF cover, since have just now been informed it needs to be twice the resolution I started it on.
Uploaded several new sketches.
Started sketching plans for overhaul of the website.

Question of the Day
Have Vasiht'h and Jahir acquired any fans? It's early, but I'm already thinking about first-readers for their novel.

It's strange. For the first time... ever, I think... I'm more excited about the three short story ideas I'm working through than any book. Still, I'm enjoying the novel.

tiny Romans swarm
my screen; I raze their houses!
ah, a lovely park!

Yesterday's Activities
I admit to being distracted by the Sleeping Beauty DVD. But I did measure and set out the paper for the MFF conbook and the four alien bookmarks, and I uploaded the sketches from Monday night. I also added Lisinthir and the Chatcaavan Emperor to the Bookmarks page.
