Scribbledidoodlediscribs ... back to handmade. Illustration for my next blog post. I want to write about creative human work, and how I re-discover some old techniques like zines and doodling as an antidote to slop machines and slop cultists.
The intuitive #doodling helps me surprisingly well to sort my ideas!

#WritersCoffeeClub 5/16. What's a writerly risk you've taken recently? Did it pay off?

Deciding to write a strict romance genre story without a lot of time to do it - I need printed copies in two weeks. I started at the end of March.

And wanting to make it illustrated - because why not make it even harder?

Story written and edited. Cover graphic sorted, now looking at the illustrations... create a 3D image, and then apply a couple processes in GIMP to make it look a bit pencil drawn.

#ScribesAndMakers 5/15. What's going well with your creative work so far this month?

I have my new Linux computer, everything is running including the Windows versions of Scrivener and DazStudio. I can now do proper renders on DazStudio as I'm not memory-limited, and Blender runs like the devil, incredible.

I finished writing "The Damsel and the Mermaid", and my wife finished giving it an edit yesterday.

Although I have engaged my usual cover designer, she's going to be using the images I create, similar to the one attached below.

I have got "Maliha Anderson Complete" compilation created on Atticus (painfully slow it's so huge) and up on to Amazon, from thence to Audible so the narrator can upload the already completed audiobooks - that was the sole reason, omnibuses are more cost-effective.

Just trying to get everything together for the show on June 6/7.

We call it the Mississippi River Ring because we traced each of its seven squiggly lines from an ancient course of this natural wonder and mapped it to the finger. We make these rings start to finish from solid sterling silver in our tiny studio in rural Mississippi.
