Wow, I've been remiss in keeping up with blog.

Tore apart the "art room" and still have sorting to do. check Gallery Boom's Arts PArt area. I bagged a lot of miscellaneous while organized my teaching sample/materials and particular projects I want to focus on in the future. Most of the teaching supplies are in the garage. Otherwise it was a hunt for whatever I needed.

I also cleared many of my art samples for various classes. They're marked $5.00 at Gallery Boom where my display is located.

I have to admit I think I broke through a lingering depression hence the reorganization. Partly it was constant discomfort from Achilles tendon and right knee. The steady pain was exhausting but now ankle and knee are much better; walking is usually back to being comfortable and speedy.

October's classes were a bust. Not sure if people are worried about the finances or the general unrest of the times. There are still some offerings for November...

I manage 3,000 words per day on a multiple number of writing projects. I don't outline so I often get a block as how to end the story. Most mornings I wake up with a scenario including dialogue. NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month is around the corner. I'm trying to finish about four stories at once; it's like working on several paintings at once.

that's it for now...

Keep creating!
