Next Blogging

Do you see that little button up in the top right-hand corner of this page, the one that says, "Next Blog?" Have you ever just started clicking that to see what random blog it would take you to? And then the next one, and the next one? It's a pastime I'd recommend for anytime you're feeling bored or at loose ends or just don't know what to do next. Or need a story idea. You have no idea what kind of totally weird stuff you're going to find out there in Blogger land...

Been a long time...

So much has happened since the end of November that I can't even contemplate trying to "catch up" here. In a nutshell, I lost a dear aunt, got through Christmas, developed writer's block or something like it, turned to colored pencil for therapy and...that's about where I still am right now. Trying to keep a lot of things going and just make it from day to day.

However, it's not all gloom and doom. We're having a very mild winter (although February is trying to make up for it) and surprisingly I haven't dipped too deeply into the winter blahs...yet. Fingers crossed. I'm really pleased with some of the colored pencil work I've done, and I've started a little art blog at http://cpcorner.blogspot.com to keep track of my progress. I might soon be ready to start writing again...I'm trying not to push too hard, just let it happen as it will.

I did manage to get The Scriptorium out in February and do some proofing for the latest issue of IROSF. So I haven't been completely hopeless. And maybe things will keep looking up from here...
