Blue-Hawk-Dreaming

...because I simply don't trust DA to protect my art, and while I can live with someone potentially ripping off my pixel art, which for me is a hobby at best, the idea of someone stealing my writing is enough to make me nauseous. Too many of my friends have been burned, and its just not worth it, especially since writing is how I earn my bread. Therefore, I am taking all my prose and poetry off DA, but I will continue to post pixel art, as the Dolling community seams to how grounded itself here.

I've hit the 10,000 word milestone for my book, and now must party like its 1999.

Yeah. I'm starting one, partially to keep me busy this summer, and partially because I need a personal outlet, and my DA journal isn't cutting it.

Here is what the blog will/may be about:

- My father passed away a little over two yers ago and now it's just me and my mother. Since his death we have been doing a lot to make our five-year-old house more...ours. Better furniture, more efficient cleaning methods, putting up curtains, etc. This summer's project is the garden; a fifty by thirty foot patch of utter maddness which we would like to reclaim and start over. I'm not exactly new to gardening, but if I really get invovled in this it would be one hell of a learning expirence, and thus would make a good blogging subject.

-I am in the beginning stages of writing a novel, and while I'm not comfortable posting art online (deviantART has shown me just how many outrageously desperate art thieves there are out there), it would be interesting to keep a blog about the process of writing a novel.

Right now I think I'll combine these two ideas and see which one proves more sucsessful and go from there. Readers, if you exist outside my imagination, which idea sopunds more interesting to you? Of course there will alawys be a few "Writer's Personal Interest" post, but I promise I will try to keep on track.

Where YOU Come In:
The blog needs a name. Right nopw it is Slowlane (the name my father chose for our new home when he needed an offical name for his horse-training business), but I don't really like that so any sugestions would be AWESOME! At the moment I'm considering calling it (shoot me if it helps) "The Neanderthal's Houseboat," or on the other hand, "The Green Room," 'cause green is my favorite color, I want to paint my bedroom green, everything in my dreamhouse is GREEN........So whadda ya think?

And I finally stole back photoshop from my boy's little brother and got it installed on the new computer. That means more pixels will be uploaded to DA faster! Hurrah!
Soon and very soon.
