Can Eye Skip Today?

Eye.
Wax.
Day 8 AEDM

No, that is not a dried apricot.

That is an eye carved out of melted candle wax. I did it while avoiding my nanowrimo wordcount for today.

But I carved an eye.

And I hit 30 thousand words in my new novel. Bad words. Nonsense words. Words that will be removed when I finally figure out what words I SHOULD be writing in this book.

I am still cranky. I am still sick.

Can I skip today? (bad pun, I know. Plus, I did not skip today.)

    I love the eye, it reminds me of butterscotch. It is quite good in the detail. Glad you didn't skip today!

  2. What a cool eye!

    I'm sorry you still feel cruddy. It's totally ok to take a day off and take care of you, hon! Or at the very least, carve out some time in your day for pure rest. Sending some soup and blankets your way.

  3. I just wanted to say how inspiring it is that you keep creating - banners, eyes - even when feeling so crappy.

    I hope you get better soon!
