Um... (Ginny peeks shyly from around corner and waves)... hi...
I'm sorry. I know it's been a while! I know, I haven't been very blogful lately. Truth is, my Creative Juice has been on low for the past year, but I still had to make art, meet deadlines, gain a crowd, finish this book which has been born of sweat, blood, tears, and more than anything, hours and hours and hours of my life. I don't know what this book was made of, or where I found energy to create anything else besides, because I've been on near empty for a WHILE.
I needed a break. So I took one. I neglected my fb page, my blog, my pencils, my sketch books, and I don't think I've even doodled at church in a long, long time. I played with friends, watched movies, read books, went to Disneyland, camped. So nice.
But, whether I'm ready or not, it's time to come back! Hippo and friends are counting on me now! My hopes and dreams that lived over a year ago when I began writing are counting on me now! My current self that wants everyone to know about the important lessons I've learned lately, and put into this book, and my future self who will write more books with similar important lessons.... is counting on me now!!!
So. Now that I'm all moved in to my new place, been working at my new full time job for about a month, my vacationing has come to an end, and I'm starting to feel settled and back to a routine, and now that I don't have homework at night (no homework!!) . . . . . it's time to come back.
I have some ideas for how this blog will work from here on. They still be brewin' in my head. More on that laters. Right nows, I goes to bed. I's exhausteeed.
Night!
Hola Ginny, just wanted to say sometimes as an artist its good to take a break and not be so productive. I have had friends who played basketball competitively that completely stop for several months just to come back with a vengeance and more passion for the game.
