Work writings, workouts, and projects coming online, only thing remaining is sketching

Perhaps it's the excitement of the approaching Spring, perhaps it's February and my brain just loves it so, or perhaps there are reasons in my life unrelated to the seasons making me do this, but my life seems to be shaping up, my shit appears to be getting together on my projects?

For the last week almost, I've gotten back to making and trying to live on daily checklists, I've gotten back to writing thousands of words on my work blog where I hadn't written in a year and loving doing it, my workouts have been as consistent than they've ever been...I mean they're still quite small and my arms and core aren't even hurting even a post intense session, but there's a start! Oh and all the fermentation projects are coming online as well, so is hydroponics, looking into getting back on mushroomery. The seasons are on the up-and-up as well!

The only thing I've desired to do but haven't actually been able to execute is sketching. Four practice sketches remain until my class on monday and I'm trying to come up with techniques to improve my flow and motivation, but also give me an intrinsic understanding of my target subjects. The latest fad is this side called line-of-action which time limits you seriously and forces you to gain a basic outline of a scene and put it down on paper, then focus on it more, and so forth, until one is quite comfortable representing one's surroundings in an agreeable manner.

The 'big ticket' goal for sketching is to use it to create illustrations for the articles on my website. Don't know how that's going to work out, but I'm optimistically positive.
