...Rivendell 5!
Ever since I watched The Hobbit, I've had a case of LordoftheRingsitis.

Symptoms of LordoftheRingsitis include daydreaming about elves, dwarves, and/or hobbits, bringing up Middle Earth in as many conversations as possible, the constant doodling, drabbling, and babbling of things related to Lord of the Rings, and making LotR themed blog posts.

Causes: reading the books, watching the movies, and/or catching a glimpse of anything involving LotR.

Cure: at this time, there is none. If you contract LordoftheRingsitis, the best way to cope is to get a piece of it out of your system (see below sample).

Rivendell 5
A crossover of Babylon 5 and Lord of the Rings
Babylon 5 was created by J. Michael Straczynski
Lord of the Rings was created by J. R. R. Tolkien

I've been meaning to update my blog's banner and background, so I figured today would be a good day to go ahead and do that! It coincides with the Sci-Fi theme of Rivendell 5. The untitled novel I'm working on is also Sci-Fi, so why not throw a huge Sci-Fi blog fest? I'm still in the process of revising it. I took Monday of last week off just to squeeze some time in. Revising and editing on the back of a full time job is not easy!

Mr. Burple Berry is off dreaming somewhere. Last week's #FictionFriday followed the the theme,

"Purple unicorns, sparkling kittens, and ninja eagles...The alarm didn’t go off!  She was late for class and missed a pop quiz. Study time."

The wingless ding is thinking about doing next week's #FictionFriday on the fly!

Already? I think things have finally slowed down…Let’s hope I didn’t just jinx myself by typing that! I’ve done a lot of knitting since the last time I posted an update. It was a bit crazy there for a while since I foolishly decided to knit a bunch of things in one month for gifts! Well, at least I know better now! I had a great four day vacation last weekend and was able to complete a digital drawing I’ve wanted to do since July. "Lisa Thompson" 800 x 800 px || 2.5 hours || digital Believe it or not, there is a huge story behind Lisa Thompson that has nothing to do with Babylon 5 aside from the fact that in my head she's a P7 telepath with the Psi Corps. Back in July, one of the summer hires sat near me, and we'd make up characters, giving them their own voices. Lisa was my favorite out of my bunch, so I had sketched her out with a ball point pen, Psi Corps badge and all, and pinned her up on one of my cubical walls. I figured it was high time she got digital treatm...

Creativity, Meet my Nemesis, Reality

I’ve been thinking about the creative process a lot lately, so I decided to do a seven part series on it--helpful ways you can tap into your inner creative genius to produce something awesome. Whether you're an artist, a writer, a graphic designer, or into arts and crafts, I hope you'll find this series useful. Why am I doing this all of a sudden? Let's just say that I recently had a run in with reality. I jumped headfirst into a tub of ice and got a painful reminder of how rough blindly leaping into unknown waters can be. Yes, I should have known better. I should have done my homework, and I shouldn't have laid a first draft bare like that. My feelings = ouch. Lesson learned. Image originally found on Wikimedia Commons - Public Domain But it wasn't for nothing. It jolted me awake as if I had just guzzled down a giant can of Monster before pulling an all nighter. I am the typical, excitable American. We have a grave weakness for letting that hot rus...
