So, I have been working on larger pieces that probably won’t sell at the craft fair, but now I am thinking of submitting to the Calgary Stampede under their “Emerging Artists” section, and for that I need 4-8 larger pieces. So far, I have 5, but today, someone expressed an interest in purchasing one of them. So…you never know!
Productive week–of another kind
I decided to try to sell some of my paintings at a Christmas Craft sale, so I signed up to rent a table on November 23. This week I have been framing completed works like mad (I just love the effect the right colour of mat and the appropriate frame really brings out the best in a painting), and I painted a new work. Now I have about 18 pieces to sell, but I still have 3 weeks before the sale, so hope to have several more by then. I certainly have a plethora of sketches to work from.
Productive week
Finished the short story–will do a final revision tonight, because it is for a reading tomorrow night; wrote a non-fiction article with my partner and submitted it; attended a signing for The Trillionist by Ed Lukowich (writing as Sagan Jeffries), which I love–of course! I edited it!
…and another short story started
It is good to feel productive, especially after 5 weeks of being out of the country on holiday. The new short story should not take very long to finish–it’s very short.
Short story finished and submitted!
It is good to have another short story in the mail. I really must look at some I have finished but not submitted and see if they need a polish–then decide where to send them. Tomorrow: going to New York to see the sights with my sister; but I’ll also get to SFWA’s Authors’ and Editors’ Reception. Should be great!
