On Friday, April 3rd, I completed my book. The second I’ve written, though the first I’ve finished.
!!!!!
Many thanks to Beeda and Brina for making me feel better.
But before I get into that, here’s what’s been keeping me busy:

Brina and I have started a new writing project on LJ, Deciduus. At least once each week, we write a poem building on a line/idea/concept of last verse. When I did these as a teenager, we would call them poemtrees because each one grew out of the last. Deciduus can currently be charted so: poem on writing > subject continuation (writing) > new subject built on verse line > idea expanded using word and base subject, but developed differently.

Along with Deciduus, Brina and I are keeping up a joint video log on YouTube, vlogthreads. (Brina created the lj community, I setup the YouTube account. Who’s more cultured here?) We wanted to do something along the lines of vlogbrothers. While that level of just plain coolness is hiding under the table in our videos, it’s a lot of fun and makes us keep up with each other. This can be difficult, since we live 14 hours apart (not to mention in different countries).

Mmm, you guessed it. There’s always something photo related in the works. I’m reorganizing my rates and offerings on the portrait side of things. But as I want to present this fully as a finished project, I’ll be mysterious about it for a while yet. But you can blame it for the lack of recent photo updates – I want most of the images featured to be new and as yet unseen. More fun that way.

And now, book excitement and angst.
