...and so it begins...
The idea of blogging makes me cringe. It's such an extroverted activity to hurl words out into the virtual world that aren't fiction. Well, not fiction for the most part, anyway. But I've been convinced. Or is it coerced?
The point of this journal is in part to shame me into keeping up with my work, and in part to make up for the fact that I'm not nearly as web-savvy as I think I am. What do I have so far? Artwork? Check. Business license? Check. Website with plenty of pictures of my sculpture, jewelry, paintings and updates on my writing and publishing? A partial check and a work in progress. Paypal up and running? Check. Traffic to the site?
So with the intent of drumming up some site traffic, reporting on my novel and short story progress, and having a thing or two to say about various art techniques, I hereby voluntarily commit myself to the LiveJournal Psychiatric Center for observation. Please remember, when you check yourself into the looney bin, you can check yourself out at any time.

Writer of science fiction and horror, sculptor with a preference for lost wax casting in pewter and bronze, painter with a preference for acrylics and throwing bones, bugs and snakes into her subject matter*, jewelry designer/creator in pewter, copper and silver, lighting and scenic designer, hermit and occasional curmudgeon.
Known Allergies:
Crowds, blatant abuse of the English language, early mornings, movies that rely on physical humor, and cuteness in general.
Addictions:
Coffee, fiction
Prognosis: Uncertain at this time
*Patient has requested non-Freudian analysis of art and fiction
