Bates Method

June 20th, 2008 · No Comments

I’m not sure if “method” is the right word, but it seems to be working for myself. Will write a post on it sometime; started on book.02. I wish I could type faster, and didn’t need sleep =P.

.02

May 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

Well, fiddled around with the CSS here [and everything was settled in 1/2 hour, yay!]…I’m trying to go for colours that won’t hurt the eyes. I’m quite happy with this one right now.
I’ve been gathering and syncing ideas for book.02…and it’s very slowly coming together [not fully just yet, maybe 75%]. Vague³ as usual on […]

I Have Been Rather Quiet Lately

April 6th, 2008 · No Comments

Coz some things have been happening with my book. What exactly, I guess I can elaborate later. For now I’m just trying to be calm and patient, two things I really could learn to be…
I’m quite braindead (or I alternate between mental hyperactivity, and being stoned), so I’ve been rather slow with all sites. As […]

Ruskin Copies

February 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Recently I’ve been getting tired of anything to do with blogs. It’s just more irritating than is necessary. I’m alright with websites. I think I’ll simply maintain/think of all my blogs from now on as “websites”.

Since I’m still on John Ruskin’s The Elements of Drawing, and he advises the reader to copy some of *his* copies, that’s what I did.

Ooh, SEO. I guess seeing to the details requires time and careful attention.

thinking on paper

February 12th, 2008 · No Comments

What I loathe about computer usage is that it pretty much forces you into physical inactivity. A sedentary lifestyle is not an ideal one to me.

I like to move, I like to do things.

red hair/ submit your artwork!

I’ve not much to rant about — damn, I still have two books I really wanna finish though.

This was the first time I tried acrylic paints — I think I prefer watercolors ^^.

Smorgasbord of Websites

January 17th, 2008 · No Comments

The reason I’ve a bunch of blogs/sites (7 in total, though I am sort of sitting on 1, so that makes 6) is due to my varied interests. A hodge podge blog that included writing rants, website/web design tips, unique gift finds, fantasy art, as well as links to nice artsy and related websites, would be a bit *too* much of a variety, so much so that it might have led to that one blog with everything in it being way too cluttered, which is something I don’t really appreciate the slightest.

Query Edit

January 16th, 2008 · No Comments

I added two lines to my query letter. They might make a difference. Wish me luck.

I apologize that I (currently) am not including more snippets or excerpts from my novel. Part of my modus operandi ;).

Midday Musings

January 4th, 2008 · No Comments

I’ve never used acrylic paints before. I think I’ll get a set. Currently I’ve a bunch of pencils, one set of watercolours, and one set of colour pencils. My hand-me-down tablet konked up the last time I tried using it here — besides, I think I prefer traditional. I like to go digital for learning […]

Twilight Dream

January 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Okay, I really have to get down to making a list of small publishers that I want to approach/attack/harrass/hound soon.

I journalled this dream immediately when I woke up at 7:16am…
