Before I begin, check out my previous journal featuring my friend and talented artist, . Plenty of interesting works there and in her gallery.

Moving right along, I've been filling the past couple of weeks with getting my contest entry kicked off, thinking of doing a (very) short piece concerning one of 's paintings, and need to get around to doing more RP stuff for character backgrounds and plot points. Helena has also been bugging me and I've come up with more stuff for her and her background. Not sure if it feels right in the long haul, but I guess for now I can try it and see if it 'meshes.' No matter what I come up with for her, one point (aside from being confused as all hell in regards to what she wants), she strikes me as the type to have the advantage/flaw of acting content with a situation when she isn't so as to not examine her deeper feelings/lose her mind. but I'll see where that takes me once I have this other stuff out of the way. Though, I would be remiss to say there isn't some part of my mind that wants to make her a brat in the beginning with no real empathy until it's shoved down her throat via some painful experiences...Bah, still have no idea what to do since it keeps changing in my head no sooner do I have an idea.

Contest entry is coming along somewhat well, though now I'm having a case of writer's ADD and really wanting to get started on my other idea for characters that aren't mine. Argh. Later in the week my mother's birthday is coming up and I have yet to get her a gift. More argh.

I wish I had more time to myself without constant interruptions.
