A card I made for my lil bro who just moved into his first (non-student related) house today. His fave band is Trivium which is why the frog is wearing that shirt 🤘 (The lighting is quite bad here but I assure you the card is blue, not grey!)

This card offers you a bit of a glimpse into the style of characters I've created for my comic, only they're more bipedal than this. One day I will have fought my anxiety enough to post some of those characters up here... One day...

Malcolm’s new Silver Lake home in Silver Wood Terrace. Lots of space, some expensive stuff flown in for renovations, bachelor pad and a pool for all the sacrificial rituals. JK. Maybe.

View from our new place! Starting to feel more settled.

New home, new job, new life (kinda)

Greetings, my lovelies. Greetings, and a very belated Happy New Year to you all. Remember that post a few months ago, when I rhapsodized about my little Scottish writing space and wondered if I'd ever get my own space in order again? Well. What do you know, but the time has arrived. That time is now.  Thank heavens.

Of course, with all the moving and the lugging up stairs and the finding out that my couch wouldn't fit through the doorway and the panic/reorganizing that ensued and then the long days of cleaning/painting/shelving/figuring out where to store all of my stuff, there hasn't been much time for writing. But I hope to change that, and soon. (Amanda always hopes, as we know. But maybe this year will be the year of action, too.) In the meantime, I wanted to share this with you. If a week and a half spent putting one's home in order has taught me anything (aside from the sheer brilliance of foldable, easy-to-fit-into-tiny-spaces furniture), it is that there should always be time for stillness and rest. Rest from lugging stuff up the stairs. Rest from alphabetizing those bookshelves. Rest from cleaning. Rest, and the permission to sit for a moment on one's shiny wooden floor. Thinking nothing. Rest, too, from the writing. Even that. From the worry and the doubt (it's come on awful hard of late) and the fear and the guilt (you're not doing enough! You're never doing enough!) and just ... everything. Sometimes it's nice to take a break. So. The space is organized now, more or less. The break is over. Here's to a productive and happy and rest-filled 2012, a year where the words mean just as much to me as those spaces of stillness in between.

Yippeee I've moved out!

Totally stoked to be all unpacked and what not :)

My new room is quite a bit smaller than the old one, but I love it so much more, BECAUSE IT HAS ACTUAL STORAGE SPACE

My old room was deeply lacking in storage, That is not the story with this room. I've got a shitload (and I really do mean a shitload) of space under my bed, raised ceilings so I can store boxes on top of my wardrobe, AAAAND about three unfilled shelves in my wardrobe. Which confuses me since it's smaller than my old wardrobe, and has all the same stuff plus extras?
