Hey there creative friend!
This blog post was supposed to go out last week, but that week went whoosh before I managed to blink. I'm sure it happens to everyone, but it doesn't mean that I like it. When I lose track of the days, it means that I have been working long hours and not doing much on a creative project. Yeah, that is frustrating to say the least.
Small collages I made in January.
I did manage to finish the second draft of the Guardian of Dreams earlier in February. It is now hiding on my computer for another week or two before I tackle the next round of editing. Don't worry, the backups were made, just in case. 😉
I also managed to prep the two panels (I only paint on wood these days) that will be the cover for Grayson's Choice. Instead of using AI to generate the cover image, I thought to do the two paintings that are part of the character development path of the female MC myself.
Of course I can paint, but to make the paintings that reflect the pain and joy of her journey, is a definite challenge. So holding thumbs that I can paint what I am envisioning they should be.

If you have read my blog before you will know that I did the 100 day project last year, and that it had not been easy. I foresee the same journey ahead of me for the 2026 edition, starting on 22 February. If you want to check it out, the details are on Substack
While I think it is aimed at artists and crafters, I also used the challenge to write. So writers, why not jump in too? Writing for 100 days will definitely get a book a good way towards finishing a first draft without the pressure of a daily word count.
I can write a 1000 words in an hour, but seldom have that amount of time available, but 500 words? Anytime. I suddenly feel the urge to write...

And then a moth lands on my desk and makes a mess with its powdery wings, making me drop my mouse on the floor. 🤨 I am not a fan.

Thank you for catching up with me this week. Next time I will share more about the art journal page I mentioned before. I changed it a bit, but that is okay, since it is still new to me and I am figuring it out as I go.
Stay creative until next time!
