More artwork is on the way...

If there is one thing COVID has given me, it's a new appreciation for how I use my time. It’s strange to think that even though I have more time, I have more things to do. Some of which are a result of the pandemic, some of which are seasonal. I have a lot of editing to do (on multiple works), but sometimes I have to put those things down so I can think clearly. After a certain amount of time editing my eyes start missing things.

For writers, at least me, it's hard to fully acknowledge the burn-out during the process. After several days, eight or more hours at the computer each day, I can’t do it anymore. The problem is that if I want to go out for a break… well there aren’t many places open right now. So, what do I do with my time that isn’t staring at a screen? 

Aside from getting caught up on chores and such, there are a few things I enjoy that don't require me to look at a computer screen. There is one specific thing I like to do but often gets prioritized to the bottom of the list, (writing and life always land above it).

I love to draw and do art for my novels and long term projects. Because of COVID, I can spend more time with a pen in my hand and music in my headphones. The older I get, the more and more patient I am with the art I do.  Each line is starting to have more and more meaning, and each piece of work carries more attachment to the way I see the worlds in which I write. I have several new works since this whole thing started. I said I would post them, and some are near completion. 

Here's a teaser from a little while ago.  

Cheers!
