Yes, I'm a day late on getting this up, but considering I let a whole month go by without posting anything, I think I'll let that slide. *g*

Where did July go?
I cannot believe that it's been a full month since I last posted anything here. Strange things have been afoot, to say the least. So I'll take this opportunity to get caught up and start over again. This is going to be based on the What's Up Wednesday posts, but with a slightly different structure.
What I'm Reading
I've been reading a lot of books on art journaling this past month. I'm not sure I'll actually do a lot of it, as it seems beyond my skills level, but I'm getting interesting prompts for things I can try in my own art journals. I've also been doing a full series reread of the First People books by W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear in publication order, as I'd initially read them out of order. The overlying themes make much more sense when they're read in order. I'm currently halfway through People of the Lightning, and remembering why I love these books so much.
I'm thinking of doing a reread of Sea Magic: Connecting with the Ocean's Energy by Sandra Kynes and a couple of my writing books, just have to decide when and all.
What I'm Writing
My July writing word count totals got quite a boost. In fact, I had the highest total word count month in my life for July, to the tune over just over 100k words written in various projects. The background work on one of the stories I'm co-writing got a whole lot of new information, thanks to my RP work over on Twitter.
I finished up the poetry for codename: Podfic Poetry last week. Just over 1000 words of poetry in three different styles. Now it's just a matter of waiting for my partner to do the podficcing for it.
The rest of my projects are still behind, but I'm planning to make up for that this month.
What Else I've Been Up To
I've been doing a lot of crafting this summer. Lots of ATCs being made, mostly of the Zentangle variety, with or without watercolor accents. I worked on a few crocheted projects, too, mostly a couple of hat patterns. And work is still slowly apace for the redoing of the office with BD. Once that's done, I'll start on my bedroom.
What Inspires Me Right Now
Well, I suppose life is still inspiring me. And the Zen of lines in artwork. Told you I've been doing a lot of Zentangle work lately. LOL!
