So, I just finished up P. I have Q started (I started it before I'd finished N, just never got around to finishing it). R, S and T and then I will be all caught up. My summer was pretty good, thanks :) How have all of you been?
I have an idea for what I want to write about for S, but I'm finding myself a little stumped on R. I'd love to do another short story or maybe do an image for one of them, but I'm not really sure what. T, maybe trees or totemism or travelling.
I'm also gonna get back to doing the Witchy Wednesday meme, when I remember. It's really important to me that I embody the 'Blogginh Without Obligation' tag that I have on all of my public blogs now. Somehow it helps me to keep things in perspective. Just that little graphic and the pledge not to beat myself up if I don't blog every day or even every week.
I also got a comment encouraging me to go back to working on my Wheel of the Year section as well. And snooping around my blog, I found that I could pretty easily get a handful of book review posts up pretty quick as well. Time to start scheduling again so that I don't have to worry about things getting done on time ;)
I've recently finished the line art for my Halloween painting. I have a great idea for one to do for November as well. The November one involves snow impressions - which is another area that I've never really explored before. I love trying new techniques. It makes me feel like I am really moving forward rather than catching up on rusty old skills. I think I may call the November one something like 'A Thousand Words' or '50,000 Words' in honor of NaNo.
What would be really fun is to team up with someone who planned to write and have them use one of my paintings as the base for their NaNo submission. That would require getting my snow painting finished before November, which wouldn't be impossible. Hmmm, anyone wanna do NaNo but don't have an idea yet? If I get no takers, I may advertise that idea on my blog.
That's about all that's new and interesting with me. Time to turn Gobbles the turkey into the sink to finish thawing before he goes in the brine for tomorrow.

Part of that is I have a certain fondness for the way pulp magazines used to give a writer a copy of a picture planned for the cover and told them to make a story to fit it.
