A card from a hundred years agoI am not making a lot of New Year's resolutions, but I am hoping to do these:
* to spend more time outside
* to slow down a bit
I have taken on too much, and I am spread thin enough to feel translucent. I am hoping that later in the month, I will have more time for peaceful moments, more time to work on my own random tangents.
How's this for random: There's a picture of a pirate Shakespeare that I've sketched but haven't had time to complete...Avast, ye canker-blossom! Arr! I have been piling up ideas, but haven't had time to sit with them. Winter seems like a nice time to cozy up with your imagination and a piece of paper (and a cup of tea) and see what happens.
One last thought -- I noticed in my blog stats that one day this week I had as many visitors from other countries as I did from the US. As I mentioned before, I am so glad that people whose first language might not be English can still find something useful here.
Happy New Year, all!
Happy New Year! The novel I'm revisioning has pirates ... space pirates. You're fortunate you can draw. I have little talent for it.
ReplyDeleteHave you read Larklight by Philip Reeve? It's a children's novel with space pirates. You might get a kick out of it. It has nice illustrations, too.
