Okay okay I'm sorry

I left this to the last min again, but I have a good excuse, well excuses this time.

The first part is that The people in the kitchen left behind some of the recipes in a book open. Open to the page with the recipe for pickled beets that make me drool. I can't eat it due to some of the ingrediants but I might be able to modify that in the near future. Anyway I love the smell of them and I can always make some for the family.

Beets you say. Yeah I hate them too, but these are less of a beet and more of a sweet and spicy pickle then a beet. Jeez I better stop thinking about them I going to ruin this key board.

I grabbed a few othe recipes while I was at it. I've been looking for the beet one for almost a year at this point. It's that good.

Anyway that is one of the things that made me late getting here. The other is that one of my projects, the fictional cartography (fantasy map making) is now starting to make a move. I've got something of a client for a work. I say something of because the deal I struck is that I'll make a map and keep it, while sending her a scan of it to use. I get to use the map in a portfolio, get to figure out the best method for getting what info is needed from a client and to streamline my processes, free advertising when she shows it off (or publishes through a publisher) and meanwhile I can use the map in a flier to show an example of my work to future clients through web pages and fliers in gaming stores.

It's going to be the first request I do for somebodyelse, so I hope to learn some valuble things in making it happen. I may do one or two more like this, but then I hope to get a feel for what I can expect to get for generic premade maps, and commission peices.

So I was gathering the relevant data and corresponding with her about what she was looking for. Then I sorta procrastinated a bit. I helped somebody get a novel plot idea worked out. And in the mean time came up with some new ideas for my notebooks. Sigh. At this rate the note books will be full of new ideas in a few months. It's a good thing but also sort of exasperating.

I don't know why the later. I do love being creative but it's sortof like trying to catch snowflakes. Running around trying to catch them all. enjoying it but tireing too.

Well That's that for tonight. Maybe again tomorrow but for sure something by Saturday.

Until then take care of yourselves.
