I have a piece in Issue #2: Dialogues of Slips Slips magazine that I co-wrote with Timothy McCown Reynolds. Slips Slips is a print-only magazine that came out last spring. They have asked each writer a series of questions. The writers answer the questions and get featured at the Slips Slips website. I have completed the minimum required – with one floating in my mind (all I have to do is write it down), but I haven’t sent my answers to the publication.

This has been on my ToDo list since March! This is tough stuff! Why so difficult?

So close!

10,000 Plum Doodles Project 

I often use scribbles as the genesis for paintings. These squiggles carry energy for me, and on their own, they tell a story. I call them plums because they are little treats for my imagination. I will continue adding to this project until I have reached 10,000 drawings.

John S. Hall’s 10,000 Poems Project inspired me – but rather than writing – I decided to collect my drawings. Sometimes I write when I doodle, and sometimes I share the writing as well.
