Oops

Last night, exhausted from work and finally throwing in the towel on this year’s writing challenge (25 out of 31 prompts, and over 26k words…!), I was telling my wife how hugely excited I was to work on visual art again, how many ideas I had, how thrilled I was to start working on my own stuff again — just as soon as I finished these two pieces for a project I’m a part of.

“Then I think I’ll end it there,” I said. “Just do the two.”

“Ok,” she said, as one of the two organizers of said project. “That’s why we on-boarded pinch hitters, so if someone drops out they can pick it up.”

That more or less stopped me in my tracks.

Pinch hitting?

Dropping the project??

It was then my lovely wife reminded my that I had signed on to complete six pieces, ahahahahaha. Oh my God, how had I forgotten that…??? I’d even had a prioritized list of all my concepts. But it had complete slipped my mind.

So, yeah. I will be working on my own stuff in the coming weeks, but I will also be working on the remaining four pieces for my part of this project. Jesus. How embarrassing, lol.

Anyway, I’m not exhibiting, but I’m looking forward to attending Nerd Alert: A Micro Con at Essex Art this Saturday, it looks to be a good time!

What stuff is coming up that you all are looking forward to? I’m excited for a day with my siblings next week (escape rooms, bowling, and possible tattoos), the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo (in just about a month), our friend Aimee’s book event (woo!), and of course our November figure drawing session on the 15th.

Hope you all have good things to look forward to. Do good when and where you can, and take care of yourselves and each other.
