Closure

The illustration below was created in Corel Painter IX for Illustration Friday. This week's topic: "Wind."



In a post I made several days ago, I described an incident at an early OVFF where a flautist's comment turned me off the convention for years. Well, I heard from that flautist a day later! At least we both theorize she was probably the same person.

I thought it incredibly brave of her to contact me, especially since I had already admitted in the comments section that the incident took place so long ago that I didn't even remember what the unidentified person looked like. It turns out that she and I did meet in person after that in a much more positive setting, but neither of us connected the other with that incident.

Anyway, it turns out that she was having a bad weekend. A REALLY bad weekend. "...If that was me, I do apologize -- I'd hate to think that I managed to make someone else even more miserable than I was at that convention." Both of us have come a long way since that OVFF, I think.

I'm not mentioning her name because I'm unsure about whether she minds being identified publicly or not, but she does at least occasionally read Blatherings: THANK YOU! For being so brave, and for providing some unexpected and much appreciated closure.



My goals this weekend: finish comics for NaNoWriMo, finish writing a song (possibly even TWO songs) as well as recording my flute part for Seanan's CD, finish my contribution to the Christmas Ornament Exchange.



As I mentioned in my LJ, I'm excited to have gotten tickets to see Wicked with my friend Lyanne in December! I've heard many good things about the show, and I loved Gregory Maguire's novel of the same name.

Just finished Endymion Spring by Matthew Skelton. I can SO see this book being turned into a movie.

And finally, I LOVE MY HOME OFFICE. Yes, I've raved about my basement office before, but I must rave some more. "Heading down to your Cave?" Jeff will ask as I descend the steps to the basement, steaming mug of cinnamon tea (thanks, Beckett!) in one hand, books in the other.

I love having my own creative space. I love looking around and see my books piled everywhere (yes, the shelves have already filled up and I'm resorting to piles now), my painted office tree with its various ornaments from friends, my craft table, musical instruments, Patrick Stewart and Ruth Ohi posters, my magnetic wall. I even inherited Jeff's lava lamp! Yes, my office is that classy.

Must write music now...
