A Thousand Words...

So...maybe not a thousand, but here in Oz it's 8:46pm on the 30th of November, ever so close to the 1st of December. My creative writing prompt has gone out to my Facebook page and I'm hoping that enough people will help out and give me writing prompts. I've started the first one off with "silver and gold" and asked the masses to give me one, two, or three word prompts to write projects on each of the days in December. John's ditching me tomorrow to go fishing with a buddy, but they have to use a 4 wheel drive to get there and Jason's only has room for two, so no me. So...I have an entire afternoon to kill and I want to get my first December writing project done with flying colours. Hopefully this will mean my December posting will increase. I've been a lousy LJ poster lately.


hogwarts_elite has proven to help with the creative juices. The last Hogsmeade weekend was ridiculously fun, forcing me to attempt more graphics stuff and writing things. I haven't improved at all, but it's allowed me to experiment with things. The following is one of my entries for one of the contests:




It's not very good but it could be a lot worse. I'm proud of it, for whatever reason. Despite the dark character of Bellatrix Lestrange, the colours are very Christmas-y, an unexpected but not unwanted effect. Me likie.

Been thinking lately of changing my default icon. I've been so in love with the bouncing ferret for so long though, I just can't imagine my journal icon being anything but. But times change...I move on. I think I need something that evokes the change from Harry Potter to...life. O_O
