This is a good morning for art news. First, has been nominated for an Eisner award, for Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition. I doubt there’s anybody who reads my page who doesn’t read Ursula’s, too, but if you don’t, suffice it to say that she is an abnormally cool human being with an extraordinary mind and a talent for art that expresses itself not only with her phenomenal, absurd, wonderfully silly and periodically perfectly serious paintings and sketches, but also in her irresistable turn of phrase both in telling stories…
I do believe…
I do believe I have a book here. I’m not done. I’ve got four or five more chapters (I’m at just over 65K, chapters are averaging 2900 words, that all works out perfectly), but this last chapter went *really* well and I’ve stopped in the midst of another tension-filled scene, so picking up tomorrow should be fun and easy (as far as these things go). I’m quite delighted by the way things are working out, though you’d think I’d be used to the whole thing coming together by now. This…
hoooongry
Man, I have just got the raging hungries today. This may be a week’s worth of paying attention to what I eat catching up, but jeez o flip, whatever it is, HONGRY! Dinner was an hour ago and I’ve just had a snack and more water, so I’m hoping that’ll hold me for a while. Sheesh. And now I’ve got an apple at hand so I won’t go hunting for other stuff.

just stuff

I’m not actually convinced of any of them as actors yet, although it’s possible that in Peta Wilson’s case this is because I’m distracted by her somewhat odd accent and her extraordinary features. I don’t think she’s pretty or beautiful, but she’s certainly interesting to look at. (She reminds me a bit of the Myrys women.) Anyway, it’s possible those things are sufficently misdirect-y that I’m failing to grasp she…
more compulsive hair disorder, and writing
*does a little dance* 3800 words, chapters 20 and 21 finished, another 200 words would start ch 22 and put me at 4000 words, and it’s early yet, so I might just do that. I have dinner to cook, though, so that might peter out my enthusiasm for writing. Still, I’m very pleased with today’s accomplishments, and liked this last chapter, too. Very good. *beam* Next chapter involves Sniking Around, and maybe an explosion. :) On the compulsive hair disorder topic: it appears several people have been Just Waiting for…
