Have I told you how much I love creating these drawings lately? I just can’t get enough. Time flies so fast when I’m drawing because I’m in my happy place. I started drawing last night around 8, and the next thing I knew, it was after midnight. I couldn’t believe it when I looked at the clock. Dang!

Imbued With Mystery

It seemed like less than an hour had gone by. I felt so energized, I could have kept going for hours, but I’m an early riser these days. It was time to go to sleep. Awww..rats!! I felt like a kid who had to put my toys away. ::poutyface::

These new drawings are available in my Etsy shop if you’re interested in purchasing them. I’m adding new stuff there every day, so check it out.

What I’m watching: 

Love On the Spectrum on Netflix. Soooo good. Finished the new season, sadly. Now I wait for more, which I hope includes a follow up. 

Fight Club on Hulu – It’s been a long while, but turns out, this is still one of my favorite movies. I’m so happy to see it on Hulu. H never saw it before, and after reluctantly watching it with me, he now wants to watch it again. 

What I’m reading:

The Poet X audio book by Elizabeth Acevedo – I dropped everything, and listened to this book in one sitting. Soooo good! 5 stars!! I loved it so much, I also listened to Inhertance: A Visual Poem, which I thought was a book because it’s on my library app, but it’s a 5 minute or so poem. The poem left me hungry for more, so I then downloaded Clap When You Land. Just like that, my reading slump is over finally, and Elizabeth has made me fall in love with words again. Her writing is so descriptive, it’s easy to visualize every scene clearly, and feel all the feels. I’ve been sucked in since the first sentence. I highly recommend this author.
