Hello all,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm back around on a daily basis. I'm still working on the novel, but my coauthor is working during the week again, so it has become a weekend project. My presence here lagged from both the writing project and because my work computer decided to no longer allow access to dA, which is when I spent the bulk of time browsing, commenting, faving. I was NOT a happy camper. Well, that ban has been lifted, so now it is back to my old habits. :) I have a lot of catching up to do. I've been whittling away at the backlog over the last week, but there is still a lot to go. I may just delete journals since a lot of them are 'old news' in peoples' lives anyway.

I have the urge to start another art project but haven't done so yet. I have a few ideas but nothing I'm willing to get into right here. :XD: I just reinstalled Photoshop after a computer meltdown and reinstall, so everything is ready to go. Just need some free time and a little bit of inspiration. :nod:

family I'm (happily) married with 3 young kids, the oldest just on the verge of teenagerhood :doh:. I see myself as a good parent, though probably not a typical one. I think they are all great kids, and I see them having happier and more successful lives than I've had so far. At least, that's one of my biggest hopes. My husband isn't much into the art scene, but he appreciates and supports my efforts, and that's all I can ask. :love:

daily living I live in a craptastic little house in rural Kansas with way too many cats (6 at last count, though we feed some strays outside as well as a possum or 2). I work from home typing up medical documents for a living. It's pretty boring work, though it plays to my strengths - whizz at English, not having to drive to work, and not having to deal with typical office politics.

art I have a hard time describing myself as an artist. Maybe that is just an intrinsic lack of faith in my own abilities, that taking on the mantle of artist has some skill level requirement. However, I do love to create, most often in Photoshop, either photo manipulation or painting. I sometimes create in words as well, but I need a quiet environment for writing and just never seem to have it. I also do take photos, though these days it is usually just as a way to collect images for photo manipulations or references for painting. I sketch with paper and pencil too, though only to scan in and paint.

quirks I almost never drive, as I find it a terrifying experience. I do have a license for short trips to the local store and for emergencies. To me, one car looks just about the same as any other car (which horrifies my husband). I get lost just walking out my front door. Okay, maybe I do have to go a few streets over to get lost, but it is not far from the truth. I've had frequent vivid nightmares since I was a child. I've occasionally written them down and used them for story ideas, but something keeps me from bringing those nightmares to my visual art. I have a general dislike for socializing in real life and prefer to spend my time either alone or with my immediate family (and with the cats, of course). I'm happiest when I'm home at my computer in the throes of creativity...or reading in bed...or making cookies.
