November Update

November was a busy month. Here's all I accomplished:

Writing-

FINISHED WRITING MY ROUGH DRAFT!!! I finally completed writing out my manuscript (appx. 66,000 words) at the beginning of the month. (Confetti! Cake! Loud noises!)

I also read through and edited said manuscript several times and have now sent it off for review by some fellow readers (I expect more editing to come).

Wrote some poetry and short stories.

Organized and mined my old journals for ideas.

Authored several "tips and tutorials" posts for my blog.

Art-

Drew some illustrations for my poetry and uploaded them to the computer.

Organized photos.

Started an 11"x14" charcoal drawing of two crows.

Here's what you can look forward to in December:

I will not be able to work on my writing while it is being reviewed so expect more poetry, short stories, and artwork.

I have specific plans to include a post on how to make ink from coffee and show you how to draw Seattle with it (should be fun). I also expect to finish more illustrations and artwork I've been putting off. Quite possibly I will also start a large canvas painting (I'm leaning towards a space theme, though I may change my mind).

Expect more "tips and tutorials" posts to come.
