Stories don't always end where their authors intended. But there is joy in following them, wherever they take us. ---- Beatrix Potter

Gosh, I like that. They're playing "Miss Potter" on cable this month and I really enjoy that movie because they put you right into her life, how she viewed the world and how she interacted with her characters as she wrote.

It reminds me that I need to get back to my own writing -- but first there's so much that I have to do. Last week was insane because of TAKS testing and this week is likely to be hectic because Ryan has band contest on Thursday and Paul has his band contest on Friday. (Two trumpets practicing two different songs -- I may have to sedate the dogs.) I managed to finish three pictures for the upcoming con season. I'll give myself another week or so for new stuff and then I'll mat like a mad woman.

Is anyone going to A-kon in Dallas? I'll be in the art show so there's a good chance that you'll run into me there.

NOTE FROM THE ARTIST:
PLEASE do not COLOR or MODIFY my art work!! The best way to improve your own art is to practice, practice, PRACTICE! Please don't make MommySpike unhappy by finding her art in places that it doesn't belong!

You know, I've been meaning to watch you for a good long while now. Just been jumping back to your gallery through some faved pics until now. Love your stuff, it's just...so expressive and has a wonderfully romantic twinge to it :D

So youuur the one responsible for the great gargoyle artwork floating about the internet ether. You give me such painfully sweet nostalgia for the old show. And I must confess that I like your gargoyle oc characters as well. Mind if I stalk you?

I LOVE seeing Mozu and his special gal together! I would love to see more stories about everyone in that world! Do Kirin and Ariana get married? How to her parents deal with this? I've kept up with Koiji on Fanfiction, but it's been stopped for a while. Where else can I see/read your work? I really love it that much!

*hums happily, sitting down with a copy of "Blood Bound"* :D

Yeah, I should've gotten "Moon Called" but I didn't know which was the first book at the time in the bookstore. ^_^;
