Back to work

Today is "back to normal" for most everybody here; children and teenager head back to school, adults go back to work, and writers all around the country (and other countries) sit behind their computer again, their minds ablaze with a million new ideas... or, in my case, completely blank and drained from the Holidays season! 

I'm gonna need some form of warm-up before I hop into writing, that's for sure...

Here's a preview of what awaits on my worktable this year:

• Correction and rewriting of the first book of Terra Fae (a lot of work and moving around needs to be done so some uniformity raises from the novel) and eventually planning and writing the second and third volumes;
• Planning, outlining and writing of my serials The Drifters and publishing it on Wattpad starting this month...;
• And I have also promised to write the fourth (and last) volume of my first French series Nellie (the readers have been waiting for it for almost three years now!).

That's all I've put on my shoulders for now. Writing-wise, anyway!

But I've got some more stuff to do in order to keep this year's "wishes" afloat. (Remember, I wrote them in my previous post?)

One of them is that I wish to be braver...
With that idea in mind, I did something I wanted to do for a little while now but was kind of afraid to do it: I applied on my first freelance job EVER!

OK, it might not seem like much, but I'm really proud of myself for doing it, for going over and beyond my fear. (Still haven't gotten any reply but hey, at least, I applied! ^_^) Next on my list of scary things to do: find an agent.
I'll let you know how that one turns out...

In the meantime, I've been painting during this year's Holidays and here are the pictures of three new paintings I've made (the last two are inspired from a Japanese artist but I can't seem to find his name or artwork anywhere anymore... Sorry.) 

A little baby tiger for my sister who loves this animal. :)

First try at palette knife! :)

Second try at palette knife and without any model; all came from my head! ^_^

So there we go! :)
Back to work everyone! (And I'm so glad I don't have to go outside cause there was an icestorm yesterday... It's pretty icy and slippery out there with a nice, freezing -25C!! Brrrrrrrrrr!)
