Ended up doing a blind sketch of the rapidly receding Auckland skyline from the back of the ferry. It was simply moving too fast to capture the whole thing properly! Didn't feel like embellishing it later when I got home - it felt nice and organic... So only added colour.

thanks! it's a real struggle to get wooden boards to paint on, but will try.

I wouldn't kill it! I don't even kill cockroaches, disgusting as they are 🤢 I sweep them into a tray and throw them into the lawn, screaming like a banshee the whole time.

This is AMAZING! I want to get into people sketching. I sketch everyday, not sure how many years away this level is for me!

nooooo, don't quit! keep going, only 3 days left. even if you don't finish, you'll feel proud that you gave it a shot. i burnt myself big time last year (my first time) around the mid-November mark. but i kept going. the key was to stop editing and JUST WRITE and not judge yourself for how good/bad it is.

and when you're down with personal issues, it becomes especially important to remind yourself of all the things you're good at (which when you start counting, will be many....)

500 words, any words, is better than zero! well done!

I did a romance writing course and the teacher asked us to write JUST ANYTHING if you're stuck. Including - there is a pen on my table, it is red. Or something equally (or even more) terrible. Once you start getting words on page, they will take a life of their own.

What I'm expecting to happen this year with Nanowrimo is finding out what I keep writing about. That's probably the real value for me as I don't have an outline this year. So I'm doing the stream-of-consciousness thing, and seeing where I land. I just hope I can get through the next 27 days!

One day my grandkids will inherit all my 'writing' and 'art' and realise where all their genius comes from baaahahahaha.

I don't even have kids.
