Has been an extremely busy handful of weeks, full of moving, and keeping on top of things at the office. Gearing up to make a major push forward with the new book as it has remained off the to-do list in favor of other obligations. That is all changing, very, very, very soon. My wonderful editor is only two chapters away from completing a full cover to cover edit of the book, which is fantastic. I have about three more illustrations to get down on paper. So despite the continued creative doldrums (outside of &#8216;work&#8217; work) that I am presently in, there is still plenty to celebrate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wavegardenarts.com\/wga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/RockyShores1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-315 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/wavegardenarts.com\/wga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/RockyShores1.jpg\" alt=\"Rocky Shoreline\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wavegardenarts.com\/wga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/RockyShores1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wavegardenarts.com\/wga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/RockyShores1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>In the midst of all this I have been doing a lot of reading. Socking away words and a desire to join the chorus of storytellers that have given so much to the world. I read another Brandon Sanderson book since last entry, a spin-off of the Mistborn series. Was also handed\u00a0the book &#8216;The Name of the Wind&#8217; by Patrick Rothfuss from\u00a0my friend who had recommended the Mistborn series. Saying that &#8220;I\u00a0have to read it&#8221; haha. Only a handful of chapters in,\u00a0thus far\u00a0I&#8217;d say he is quite right (haven&#8217;t told him this yet, of course, haha).<\/p>\n<p>Once I&#8217;m settled back in with everything in September,\u00a0I intend to really hit the ground running, err writing, err illustrating. Next few months are going to be a full on creative press. Looking forward to it!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; CS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AUGUST 2016 &#8211; Wheels are turning, boxes filled, and a new semester starting.
