Nanowrimo

Yesterday, at 3 am, I completed Nanowrimo or National Write a Novel Month. To complete it, you have to write 50,000 words in the month of November. I did it, ending with 50,041 words!

The next step is editing my story, but that shouldn’t be as intense as writing it! Feels kind of weird to not have a deadline looming over my head, but if you enjoy writing, I highly recommend doing Nanowrimo. 
Even if you didn’t participate, the forum has tons and tons of valuable and helpful information!

The Day After Turkey Day

Hopefully everyone had a great Thanksgiving, and enjoyed the food and family time!
I went away to see family in New Jersey, and it was fun.
So today was not a real studio day, but I did do something sort of productive!
I get magazines such as horse illustrated and various others that I have picked up over the past numerous months. Normally , whenever I get a new magazine, I read it and then cut out the pictures I want for my photo binder. I have gotten kind of behind on cutting out pictures.

I pick pictures for multiple purposes. Some are great for markings

and others are great for poses. I could have a whole binder full of gaited horses.

I also cut out cool names!

The funny part? I haven’t even gotten through half of the magazines!

Snow..err…Hurricane Day?

Today and tomorrow has been announced as no school. Hurricane Sandy hit today. Most stores closed at one, but my mom and I went to the craft store to make sure we had enough entertainment.

Getting back to model horses, Someone Like You is getting his final touches. All that is left are hooves, eyes, muzzle and a few touch up areas. I’m thinking about naming him Hurricane Sandy.

The lights have been flickering, so I have no idea how long the power will be on or if it will go off.

In With The New

So for a while, I’ve been trying to decide whether or not to buy an airbrush. Today I went to Acmores, packed with a 50% coupon. Thank you craft stores for 50% coupons! So after looking and looking and comparing the different airbrushes I finally settled with a Badger’s Deluxe set model 200. It’s a single action internal mix.

It came with a small air can, which will last for a tiny bit but I have an air compressor. Now I will research on how to use it…..
