Screech (Inktober, Day #9)
Above is the pen drawing for the Day 9 prompt, which is "screech". It's an owl, but I am not sure if it is a "screech" owl. I drew this owl first in pencil, and when I did the ink version, I could clearly see what I'm lacking in pen materials to create the same...
Crooked (Inktober Day #8)
Y'all! I'm having so much fun with this layout app which takes pictures and rearranges them in unique ways. Yesterday's prompt was "crooked" (yes, I'm a day late - I was traveling over the weekend and was driving back yesterday). When I saw the prompt was...

Underwater (Inktober, Day #4)
Day Four's Theme for Inktober is "Underwater". I used an app to create mirror images of the drawing. The drawing is all on a single page. I think the mirror image turned out pretty cool. I like it. And yeah... that's loose leaf paper again. I was out of the...
Swift (Inktober, Day #1)
Last year, I wrote a post every day in October. It was a series on communication, which can be found by clicking here. There are many prompts available online for writing during this month. I made up my own series last year. If you feel stuck in a rut or not motivated...
Writing Advice (by Rainer Maria Rilke)
“Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. This most of all: ask yourself in the most...
