Honestly. . .

I feel like I'll never finish anything again. As soon as I get one idea that I love, I get another that I love just as much as that last one. This happens to me frequently, as it does to a lot of people I suppose. Sterling was a sort of a random stroke of luck in terms of finishing anything.
Though as that same luck would have it, I've been drawing a ton! I've made quite a bit of new art lately, including Sherlock fanarts (Benny C. is inadvertently teaching me how to draw cheekbones, it's wonderful!) and some pieces for a new book I've been working on lately.
I've had some great ideas, tossing around the idea of writing and drawing a comic again. I've thought about doing it before, but I couldn't draw back then as well as I can now, and I'm learning to do better. I'm not too good at action shots.
Right, so that's my life lately!
Here are some of the arts I've been doing :}

John Watson from BBC's Sherlock -- what do you mean the same pose?

The Echo-y Spaces in My Heart

This is a playlist :}

It's called The Echo-y Spaces in My Heart, and it's basically full of some really nice, mostly mellow music. Some Bon Iver, some Le Loup, some stuff off the Twilight soundtracks, that kind of thing :}

Let me know what you think, or if you want an actual list.

Oh my gosh

I love my job. . . .

Today, I took my younger sister to work (she's five) and she played with the twins. Oh my goodness, is there anything cuter than three well-behaved kids hanging out and playing?
She taught them how to build a block tower and how to play with an alligator pop-up ball thing (I don't even know what it was) and they were just generally adorable.
I love kids. Really, even when they irritate the absolute living crap out of me, which happens often because I have a flash temper, I love them.

Just look at her! 

Frankly, I'd really like to give writing children's stories a shot later on, when my writing schedule clears up. I'd love to write a middle grade book. 

The most fun part of imagining any character --

THEIR CLOTHES OF COURSE!
Oh my gosh, I absolutely love imagining the clothes that my characters wear. I'm addicted to Polyvore and have tons of sets for my own characters as well as for other people's.
Frankly, I just love fashion. If I was to choose another dream to have I'd totally choose fashion designer or to make costumes for movies. I love thinking up whole closets for my ladies and even my boys. Everyone in my head looks fierce in my opinion.
Some of my favorite things you'll be seeing either in art or in prose are the Steampunk-inspired dresses that the main lady in my new project, with lots of 1870's silhouettes, pompadour-heeled boots, and tons of color. You'll see or read about Carrick's winter coat, which has a feather lining rather than fur. You'll read about Sophie's military-inspired style in Nightling #2, which is probably going to be released in March.
Clothes are a huge part of the world in anything I write. Usually there's a dressmaker or a tailor character, or someone who loves fashion. I use costumes and color palettes to describe characters or to set their moods. Cornelia, always in black and green is sly and a little mad. Olivia is always in blue. Corvyn in blacks and dark grays. Sophie in paler grays and olive greens.
I have way too much fun with this. 

Officially starting a new project

Outlook. hopeful. Thinking it will be a steampunky fairytale circus-y gypsy thing. No, I don't know either. But I've written a few pages so far and feel quite hopeful.

The Fourth Doctor for all the things!

Playlist Makers Anonymous

I make a TON of playlists, I think I have at least 20 in my Grooveshark sidebar. Sometimes I give them really ridiculous or pretentious sounding names, like my 'forbidden/tragic romance' playlist, which is called Us Against the Stars, or Indie Princess, which is just a lot of music that I loved by bands I hadn't heard of before I used Pandora.
A playlist I made for a fanfiction I was writing for Doctor Who, called TARDIS Blue, (the OC I made for it had TARDIS blue hair) is one of my faves, but I haven't used it in a while, I have lists named after characters from books like "Sophie", "Josephine," or "Milo and Amelia."
Then there are just the random ones, like "Atmosfeer", "Busy", or "The Red Necklace", which I put together for the book by Sally Gardner. I have a Florence playlist, which is all Florence and the Machine (my favorite band).
Oddly enough, the thing about me and my playlists is that I never ever use them. I have them, and I spend about a half hour making each one, and then I use it for about two days, and then I stop and forget about it, which is generally what happens with most of my music anyway, unless it's a really really great song. I'll spend hours and hours listening to it until I hate it, and then I'll listen to something else and go back to it.
(Here's) my Grooveshark profile, for anyone who wants to check out those ignored playlists :}

Chili Garlic Sauce

I love chili garlic sauce. The one with the chicken on it? I use that in everything.
Oddly enough, I dont' like it as a condiment, I don't put it on my food, but gosh darnit, it just adds something AWESOME to everything.
Stroganoff? Chili Garlic sauce.
Tacos? Chili garlic sauce.
Cookies? Chili Garlic sauce.
Apple juice? Chili garlic sauce.
Okay, not the last two (unless I'm feeling bosslike) but in pasta, chili, meat, teriyaki anything, sauces, what have you -- It's like lemon juice with sass.
Also, can I just Eowyn's white dress in the Two Towers? It's just a lovely dress.
