lenora_roseAnd once again, we'll be leaving for another out-of-town thing. Second last one of the summer. The break between this one and the last was a real break, though, and I'm feeling much more enthused and less burned-out than before.
Well, this second, I'm feeling a bit like someone who got less than three hours of sleep last night. But that's self-inflicted; I chose quite clearly to work on painting pottery with china paints until the early hours. The results, if the plates do in fact turn out remotely like they look now, will be fairly worthwhile. There are flaws, mostly to do with getting used to a new medium during the final run - china paint behaves a little differently from most other paints I'm used to, being thinner than watercolour and yet drying slow like oil - and a lack of time to either do test pieces or attempt to add Yet More fine detail.
I'm debating which fiction to work on. I seem to have got enough of Merlin's Dive (The shiny new thingy I started at the end of the last trip) onto paper, and enough notes, that even if I leave it a while, I should be able to pick up again. Bird of Dusk seems to be ready to be worked on again. And I really would like to continue Soldier of the Road. So I'm taking bits of all the above on the Dana, so that during the drive to Minneapolis, I can make up my mind.
That's all for now. All of you take care.
