Just sayin' Hey!
Hey! ::waves:: I took my last final for this semester last Thursday and I'm taking the next two weeks off from work which adds up to a vacation from both work and school. \o/
As much as I would love to be finished with school I'm enjoying it and the way it challenges me to do my best and with only a few exceptions my co-workers and workplace are pretty cool but at this point I am just so tired of the whole work/school merry-go-round I could barf. I start classes again at the end of August but for now I just want to unwind (code for veg) and catch up with y'all.
I have two stories languishing half-finished on my hard-drive (one for Tour of Duty and one for Shelter) and one story for Supernatural that's running amok in my head (a less reliable hard-drive). Common sense tells me to work on the ToD and Shelter stories and leave SPN to braver people than me but since I haven't written anything for eons - 2006 to be exact - it might all be moot. I miss writing though. It probably helps that SPN has been frustrating me just enough to make my will to write feel more like a grudge which apparently I really can get into. We'll see ...
I'm also very tenatively working on making handmade books. A couple years ago I took a workshop for bookbinding that was suppose to be for beginners but turned out to be full of old pros. The instructor acted like I was ruining their fun when I asked for help and so, needless to say, I didn't go back. I'm not stupid but with some things you have to show me the bone before you throw it. Since then I've been collecting how-to books and YouTube videos along with paper and stamps and ink and a whole money-pit of supplies. Sunday I was laying out what I want to use and going over the instructions and promptly became overwhelmed and took a nap. My goal is a traditional hardcover book with a quarter-bookcloth binding and laced in cords on the spine. I know. Hahahahaha! Wish me luck, K?
