Milestone = millstone – Daily painting Day 300!!

65 more days to go. The light at the end of the tunnel is beginning to glow a little brighter.

Keep moving. Don’t stop. But don’t rush.
Don’t race around.
Sure and steady gets you there every time.

What was my blog like before I started the daily painting project? I asked myself this the other day. I honestly couldn’t remember what it’s like to write a post that isn’t all about keeping track of how many days I’ve been painting. I’m not sure if this is a good or bad thing.

“Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I’ll draw a sketch of thee.
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?”

What I’m watching: Wired for Story: How to Become a Story Genius..an amazing writing class by Lisa Cron. She makes me want to drop everything, hunker down, and write a novel.
