Howdy! As usual, I have fifty-eleven projects going on at any specific time. I have been writing a book. I love listening to audio books when I am on my daily commute. Most recently, I have been reading or listening to the Pendergast series by Preston and Child. I love great stories like this, because they really make me think. Of course, the plot and the character development are engaging, but what would turn my brain the most was the amount of research they must do to create such a believable story! I mean all those authors out there can't be experts on EVERYTHING, right?
I decided to put myself to the test. I love stories with a supernatural or paranormal theme, so that needs to be a part of my book. I am an artist, so there will also be an art element. I know a little about a lot of "New Age" culture, so I decided to make that part the research.
The first several pages came rather easily. It was when I needed to delve into the research that I got "stuck". I let the whole working mom of three thing and multiple other projects get in the way. I started knitting a blanket for my son. I decided to teach myself how to do color pencil portraits. The list goes on...
I am a firm believer in the law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction states that when you have an inspired thought you should follow through, so I am! Which means, I am getting back to my writing. I am thinking about posting excerpts on here. I am not quite decided on that yet!
Color Pencil Portraits. It makes so much freaking sense!!! As an oil painter, I never get to paint with little kids running around the house because it is just not safe. Honestly, I never gave CP's the credit they deserve! Now that I have had some success with the medium, I have decided to make some YouTube time-lapse videos of my work. :)
As for the blanket I am knitting for my son...Well it may end up for my GRANDSON before I get finished at this rate! Just kidding! I need to set a date to be finished and make it work. Period!
