D is for Deirdre (Well, what did you expect?) and, of course, Dandelyon

The intersection of dreams and new stories is (for me) intimately involved with sleep. I don't mean I dream stories whole (my dreams have huge plot holes), I mean that the surest way to get me staring at a blank screen and not filling it in with pixels is to have a brain yearning more for sleep than story.

Which leads me to the conclusion that since my Word document isn't filling with new words, I should head to bed.

But first, I promised a haiku for the letter D!

D is for dreaming
DM whimsical when bored
Time for a new tale

I will admit, though narrative consistency is notably lacking in my night-dreams, they aren't boring.

E is for Excellent New Icons and Eggcellent Easter Eggs

I was hoping F would fall on Friday, since, well, Friday.

But instead I'll celebrate having so many artists in my life.




Icons by djinni (who will probably launch a new Free Icon day shortly)




Eggs by family!

And of course there's all the artists who've contributed to Torn World or joined in at Sketchfest or who post their works  in progress on LiveJournal or DreamWidth.

Nimble minds and hands
Every artist brings me joy
Each of them unique

Thanks, all of you, for bringing beauty and whimsy to my days.
