Homily for the day

I'm busy, busy busy

  • - writing frantically (or as frantic as a slow, slow writer like me can get) to try and finish SPN_cinema, the J2RB joint story with blackrabbit42, and start on the idea I'm supposed to be doing for cassiopeia7's SPN_RB

  • - arting for the remaining spnRB prompt with septembers_coda and the J2RB prompt with amypond45 - both such cool and wonderful stories, chaps!

  • - going to London to see Rag'n'Bone Man in concert tonight

  • - preparing to paint the giant hare

  • - trying to produce 3 designs for giant penguins by 11th Dec

  • - planning a trip up north to see my Mum, Aunty M and cousin Michelle in January

  • - Christmas presents and bloody cards! Dammit.


All while trying to distract Paul from the horrible waiting for his Mum to die. (She is fading but not fast - sleeping a lot, not really there when she is awake, and it's really stressful for her two boys...)

Ugh. That just got out of hand, and wasn't what I was going to post at all. What I was going to post was THIS interesting and encouraging article about writing and storytelling, and why we should all keep telling our stories.

Oh dear, you're a busy bee! Enjoy the concert tonight, I'm looking forward to hearing about it :-))
Have a wonderful day and take care of yourself!

Wow, you have a busy time ahead with your art projects and Christmas stuff, too! Sorry about Paul's mum, it's so hard seeing a loved one fade away. Enjoy Rag'n;Bone man, he has a wonderful voice.

Best of luck with all of your projects and plans! The idea of painting giant animals just tickles me. :)
Condolences for the difficult aspects as well. That's tough. <3

Thank you for sharing that article, too. I really enjoyed it, and have it bookmarked!
