A few fall pictures

A few of my fall snapshots, now that the season is officially upon us.

Take care, friends!

A short, happy update

Hi friends,
There's been a lot going on lately, but I just wanted to share that I've had another story accepted by a publisher and it will be out this December. I am very excited to share this news, especially since my last post dealt with the inevitable rejection that comes with creation and finding a market.

More details to come later!

Aren't you glad it's almost fall?  I know I am! I hope to reopen my etsy shop to orders in October, the perfect time for enjoying all the fall photography and colors. Until then, my Society6 shop is still open, and I've got a tumblr for my art, if you want to follow me there.

That's all for now!

Rejection

Recently I got a rejection for a story I wrote, from a magazine I've submitted stories to before. Even though my story didn't make the cut, I was happy to hear back from them. There have been enough rejections in the past and they no longer sting as much.

A while back I offered some free background wallpapers for download here on the blog.

Recovering

Hi all!
I'm writing on the other side of a successful eye surgery.  I am recovering well at home. 

Let me tell you, my spirit is so light.  I feel so much better.  Things feel like they are turning for the better in my life, and it is making my smile reappear.   I am eager to go back and start some new work, even though we're still in the process of moving.  This change is so inspiring y'all!  There is so much relief in my heart too, now that I'm done with both eyes.  I don't worry about losing my livelihood anymore, or slowly watching the important moments in my life shift out of focus.

It's been a healing time, and I'm so happy to share it with you all!  Things are starting anew, and here's a budding picture to symbolize it all.
