July has been a frustrating month. I’ve fallen behind in painting and posting July’s art cards, my blog is covered in dust and I haven’t been able to fit in enough writing to keep the grumps at bay. I could blame summer vacation, the fact that my 13 yr old is home 24/7 does play a part, but ultimately it’s my fault. I didn’t plan out the month well enough and everything fell to the wind. Ah, well. Things could be worse. I may not have many more summers where my daughter wants my attention, so I’m going to enjoy it while I can.
Back to the subject of art cards, here’s a sneak peak from July’s theme: Sea Shells:
If you are a subscriber to the IndieGoGo Art Cards there is an update on the campaign page about July’s cards and when to expect them.
Other things:
~ I finished reading Phoenix Rising (SO AWESOME) and will have a review posted in the next few days.
~ I’ll also be posting on the book adventures my daughter and I have enjoyed this summer.
~ Are you familiar with Chuck Wendig’s website, terribleminds? Neither was I till this morning. Check out this post for writers: 25 ways to become a better writer.
It’s the crazy times that make us appreciate the “things are going smoothly” times!
So true, Kimmy!
Give yourself a bit of slack Amanda. (And) know that you will get to what REALLY needs your attention, and that you and your daughter will benefit from the extra moments that you spend together now. You already know what’s ultimately the most important thing … or things.
Oh, this is just me trying to sound know-ing, just don’t ask me about my efforts to organize my life now that I am back from vacation and family events.
Thanks, Jan. 🙂 You always have something insightful to say that makes me feel better. *hugs*
