First of all, I want to launch a humongous thank you in `Halatia's direction. Meg selected one of my poems for today's DD--I'm superflattered and superhappy. Maybe this will be the kick in the tooshie that will get me a little more active on dA again, and (maybe maybe) writing again.

What have I been doing and where have I been?

I've been all sorts of crazy these last few months--and it doesn't look like it'll change anytime soon. I will be continuing full time in grad school, and then doing a part time job and a full time internship (now won't that be fun?) while keeping up with my baby book review site and working on an editing project with Meg for an independent publisher.

But despite all evidence pointing to a stress overload, I'm actually really happy. So no worries there.  

With my writing dry spell still plodding along happily after me, I've tried my hand at some visual art. There's something about drawing that lets me shut down the part of my brain that insists of running the hamster wheel. Here are a few recent pieces I've whipped up:

In the dA meantime...

I'm afraid I went in and nuked my backlog of deviations, polls, forum posts and journals. There was no way I could have gone through them. So I'm counting on you to leave me a comment if there's something you'd like me to look at or if there's something that was posted that no self-respecting dA-goer can afford to miss.

I've also gotten a few lovely notes in my inbox requesting critiques. I'll see about giving those poems a chew in my free time, have no fear.

And thank you to everyone who's left comments on my page. I love you guys.
