Apparently, the writing is not enough to keep my muse a ... wait for it .... mused! LOL Unintentional pun, but I love it anyway. *pets newborn pun gently*
Anyway, I am thinking about making my apartment look more summery. I am thinking that I want to make a midsummer/late summer wreath. I am going to be headed out to Michael's (craft store for those who don't know/aren't addicted) this weekend to price air brushing kits, and I think I will pick up some grape vine wreath forms and see about picking up some silk flowers and greenery (and fruit). I think I am also going to pick up some sculpty and start giving form to some of the little critters that have been flitting around my mind (like Charles de Lint's techno treekin).
Also, I still want a statuette of Psyche. I am an artist too, and since I know how I want it to look, there is no reason that I shouldn't make it.
I, also also, bought a new decorate-a-cup from Starbucks. It is a mini one (apparently Starbucks is promoting giving coffee to your kids ... like they need caffeine). You would think I am kidding, but it came with glitter stickers and mini-felt pens inside. I am going to use my cup decorating as an excuse to work on fine tuning my tat design (I think I have lost Mattie's, and I have some more ideas that I want to add to it).
And then there is the writing. I want to keep working on the novel, but I also want to try and get some short stories written. My last several attempts to write short stories have turned into new novel ideas. Seriously, what is wrong with me that I can't tell a story in less than 10,000 words? There have been so many opportunities for me to send out short stories to new local mags starting up, but I have none! This sucks heinie!
Bleh. Time to get ready for work. I am gonna sketch and write and such today. Oh, yeah! and I have those masks to make too! LOL I am the incarnation of the idea faery!
