Please enjoy this pileated woodpecker, who is proud to be flinging bark chips everywhere in search of buggos.

Busy summer of doing things: feels good to finally step back into my old routine of writing and drawing at the library again.

Still life with a book in progress.
Pen and pencils spread out atop two notebooks, one of which is open to a page of doodles; the other, closed, has a shiny "welcome back to your library" sticker.

I just wrote "The End" on the pencil draft of my silly little book, and scanned it into a PDF doc with all its imperfections and plenty of free floating eraser dust to boot. Long road ahead, but DANG that's an exciting milestone!!!

Writing time, mint tea edition.
Holy cow, next time I decide it's a great idea to whip up dot to dot spoke pattern worksheets, remind me of this pile of pencils and erasers and color coded highlighters and rulers and the cramp in my thumb...

Even for an agnostic slacker like me, the holidays sure take a bite out of creative writing time. Made myself a pie chart to stay motivated!

Writing time, alongside a giant bowl of diy powdered cocoa mix.
Notebooks, pencil and sharpener next to a big stainless steel bowl of floofy brown goodness: 2 parts powdered sugar, 2 parts powdered milk, and 1 part unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix 1/2 cup with 1/2 cup hot water and you are good to go!
