More Etsy sales! Writing a poem a day during National Poetry Month (April)! Two writing contests! Working on a prototype for a book!
Lots to do and, with no job, lots of time to do it.
Let's start with my Etsy shop:
Someone I know bought these three pairs of earrings...
...and the first mermaid I listed.
Then another friend bought the second mermaid I listed...
... and then someone I didn't know bought a pair of earrings. Modest sales, but it's still encouraging.
The poems have been fun... not great poetry, by any means, but for me it's mostly been about the discipline of writing something every day - sometimes I pair them with one of my photos:
The writing contests (I've entered two now) have been motivating me to write as well. We'll see what transpires in a month or two.
Then there's the prototype. I want to start writing stories about people's pets - I started with one of my own fur babies, my sweet little Nancy. The story (it's actually a poem) is finished and I need to either come up with illustrations or figure out how to get creative with photos of her.
So, that's it - a photo essay of what's been going on! Please click on the Etsy badge at the upper right of this blog post to see what's listed in the shop, and the link to my web page is below that.
Looking back at the last few posts, I realized I never posted any pictures from my vacation... maybe next time!
