Wow! Women On Writing interview



(Update: I just found out that my Guest Blog posts will be updated on DesignSessions Notes On Design every few days, not every day, so have updated the info below.)

WOW! Women On Writing ("an e-zine for women writers, authors, editors, agents, publishers and readers") interviewed me for their April issue; you can see the interview online. The interview was done through e-mail and over the phone; I hope I get to meet Beryl and Angela in person someday...it was fun to chat with them, and their site looks like a great resource for writers. Thanks to Ray Vankleef, Tony Fabris and Beckett Gladney for use of photos they've taken of me in the past! :-)

The issue also has a Q&A with Moira Allen, who helped me with Inklings (companion newsletter to the site) during my Inkspot days, and now runs the excellent resource for writers, Writing-World.com.

Thanks so much to WOW! Women On Writing for their interest in me and my work!

I'm not sure how often I'll be posting for the rest of this week, so I also wanted to remind you all that I'm Guest Blogger at DesignSessions Notes On Design over the next while; please do visit! The blog is part of Sessions School Of Design. There will be five in total. I was limited to 70 words max a post, which was a challenge for me. :-)

My new Wacom Artpad!


My new Wacom Artpad arrived yesterday, a birthday gift from Jeff. I didn't hug the delivery guy, but just barely. Thanks so much to Michelle Dockrey for letting me check out her Artpad at a recent convention. I'm already finding the programmable keys highly useful. My Painter X upgrade package arrived yesterday as well, along with a hefty manual. Yay, I love manuals!

Chocolate calligraphy


Above: a chocolate calligraphy experiment. I'll be posting more experiments, I'm sure. My focus is on my writing, but I did allow myself the luxury of installing the Wacom driver and Painter upgrade during the day yesterday. I am in artsy geekgirl ecstasy.

Snap


Above: A cartoon I created for Illustration Friday. This week's IF word: "Snap." :-)

I'll be posting more FKO photos and highlights eventually. Traveling and FKO were fun, but I'm now looking forward to burrowing back into my usual hermit-ish work habits, losing myself in my writing down in my basement office, with occasional ventures out into the fresh air (I did my first outdoor run of the season yesterday, woohoo!).
