The ideas are coming again. After a period of relatively blechy creativity, my interest has been renewed and my ideas are coming fast and furious again.
It's kind of like a dry gulch that, once the rain hits, becomes a stream again.
Now the problem is staying afloat!
Current projects:
1) Have bought paints to do my Christmas cards this year. Have also sketched a couple of pages of thumbnails for the card, but have not made my final decision.
2) Keeping my spirits up about my business. Trying to pull together my many ideas and create one, unified entity.
3) Currently contemplating going forward with the t-shirt ideas I have.
4) Writing has once again started to work for me. Through an online forum for children's writers, I heard about an essay contest for twentysomethings that I intend to answer. The question is whether or not I have something unique to contribute--do I have a personal story that is worth picking out of thousands of others to include in an anthology of works from other authors my age?
5) While trying to keep myself on task in editing my fantasy/adventure novel for young adults, I have also a contemporary novella in the works about a homeless girl, and a new idea for a book about a girl during the Revolutionary War period in Colonial America. For both the homeless and Revolutionary books, I think I have landed on topics that have not been covered before, so I'm very excited about their prospects once completed!
6) Decorating my room with items bought 20% off at my Big Retail Store. It's very addicting. So much for a paycheck!
