I know writing is mostly rewriting.
I've been doing a writing challenge for the past few weeks. What I've learned is that I am very out of practice and my stories are not clear and/or confusing. I'm struggling with how much to describe in prose versus whipping out a sketchbook to draw.
I'm thinking about which cat(s) I haven't painted or drawn yet.

Writing session proved fruitless, so now watercolor painting instead for the rest of the day.
How did you wall mount it?

Love the type case drawer as a display case.
Thereβs also a play, βPeter and Alice,β wherein the real inspiration of Alice and Peter meet. I think one run had Dame Judi Dench as Alice.
