Did this for the self portrait challenge over at shutter sisters.
I feel lighter today like something lifted out of my subconscious, not sure yet what that is or how it will affect me in the coming days, but I feel like the fog has cleared up a little today.

That’s how many days are left in this month. Only twelve days to finish 30,000 words for NaNoWriMo, only twelve days left to post for NaBloPoMo, twelve days left until I can finally stop going after these goals that seem to take over my life settle in, and allow me to do nothing more than be stuck.

Not sure where I was going with that. I just find myself thinking an awful lot lately. Thinking instead of doing, thinking instead of painting, or drawing, or creating illustration. Thinking instead of contacting galleries, and art directors. Thinking instead of trying to find ways to keep promoting myself, and to get my art out there into the world.

To much thinking, not enough listening to my heart and doing.

posting for postings sake

Need to go walk this guy in a few here. My wrists are hurting and I can’t seem to type straight. Managed to write 7,000 words in the past two days in an attempt to catch up, so I can slow down the pace just a touch on the novel writing. I hope to be at 30k by Wednesday then I won’t be too far behind. It is nice to set goals and reach them, I think that is why I am refusing to give this up this year. I don’t even know if I will ever get around to editing this novel, but it is nice to set out that goal that I will write 50k in a month, and then to achieve it. I know the feeling I had two years ago upon completing the challenge was amazing.

So with that my legs need a workout now that I have sat here planted for the past three hours typing away…

Another painting for the group show I am participating in next month.

I’m procrastinating here on this lazy Saturday morning. I want to write, as I have a word count to hit. Yet I am not feeling all that motivated to write. I feel right now the story I am writing is losing momentum, or maybe I am. I will not bore you today with my thoughts on writing 50k in a month, instead I will open the file and try to up my word count a little, so that I could get just slightly closer to that goal.
