I write every day, but I still often feel like it's not quite right. Sometimes, though, I get those moments where everything seems to fall into place, little shiny blocks of words, and those moments make up for all the hours spent staring blankly at a blinking cursor. I'm hoping that with more practice I'll get more of those moments. ^_^ I'm attempting to make a living at the writing, whereas the visual art is more of a hobby for me. The fibre art is just a way to keep warm.
Blogging can be great for getting yourself into the mental habit of putting your thoughts into words. A great way to bitch about random stuff, too. I've had a livejournal for about the last eight years, and it does help with the writing.
Thanks for your comments about EPIC. I've just been fortunate enough to be able to pursue something that feels instinctive. However, the writing and graphics that make EPIC look so appealing are Nancy's magic.
To be fair, my boyfriend does wear most of what I make him, even the bunny slippers.
I love Chai tea, although I've never had chocolate chai. I make my own from a tea masala I bought from an elderly lady from Mumbai who lived in Kitchener, ON. And I've gotten some good ones from a tea store in St. John's called Britannia Teas. Great variety and lots of organics.
My parents and my brother live in Halifax, too, so we're all transplanted Newfies.
I enjoyed your photos, by the way. I am a terrible photographer, so I appreciate the skill in others.
