IFWA’s semi-yearly write-off is this weekend and I got a story critiqued last week so I am ready for revisions! I need to get more short fiction out in the mail. This is the weekend to do it!
More paintings
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.
