I love it when things get done, even if it's only a few of them
Things Accomplished
In writing... one new poem written and a rough draft of another. Morning poetry continues, off and on. No progress on the short story.
I also submitted four poems to ZYZZYVA, which would be awesome to get in to. :)
In art... I got a few drawings done. I'm finding that it's getting easier to get things to look the way I want them to on the page -- which shouldn't be a surprise. Practice is good. I really want to improve to the point where the more elaborate ideas and painting that I have in my head and translate them to canvas. One in particular would be a large portrait of my grandmother, but I don't feel skilled enough yet with painting to be able to pull it off right, especially since it's such a personal subject.
In body... again, only the yoga class. I get like this sometimes, where I'm just not in the damn mood. I really need to get over this, since my body just feels so much better when I keep up a regular exercise routine.
In miscellany... I also managed to sneak a youtube video in there, which I just now realized that I forgot to post here. *sigh* At any rate, you can click the link to view it.

In other news, I'm only two weeks away from Germany. Which means I should probably ease up on my to-do lists, so that I can get all my pre-travel stuff done. But I'll leave it be for this week and see what happens.
To Do in the Coming Week
-- continue editing/rewriting the story (actually finishing = triple bonus points)
-- write, edit and/or polish 1-2 poems
-- write a 500 word article to submit to Matador
-- draw two pages for the 30 Day Challenge
-- submit a set of poems or a short story for publication
-- do 3 walking/running routines for Couch to 5k
-- do 5-7 days of morning yoga
-- post a youtube video
