Art of Lisa Morgan

A disembodied hand holds the neck of a long plastic dragon model with its head facing the viewer. The body and tail rest on an instruction manual, with more runners of parts visible in the background. The dragon is white and grey, with silver and gold trim.

This is what I've been working on lately: The Daytime Meteor kit. I finished the girl last week, and I've been working on the dragon as my back allows. #girlpla #plamo #plamodel

I can still use the jars to store the things I dehydrate. And we have a handy new label maker bought to organize the craft room, but it will be perfect for the jars :) Next step, cut up some shrooms and try it out :D

No new art this morning. Too much focus on writing, which is coming along swimmingly :D Instead, I set up our new food dehydrator (after adventures in canning last year, I wanted something a little easier :)

If you would like to pay for shipping, I will let you know how much once I get it printed (filament is scheduled to arrive tomorrow) and weighed in a safe shipping box.

I loved the tiara (the .stl is free) As far as cost for the filament, it doesn't really use a whole lot, and it seemed silly to have you pay for it when I'd have a significant amount left afterward. Plus...it's for your birthday :)

A simple tiara-style crown with whorls and several flat areas to gemify. The crown rests on a grey and white grid

A gold crown on a black background. The crown has six raised points and a band around the base.

A gold crown against a white background. There are six points with round endcaps, and diamond decorations around the baseband.

And a few of the crowns I've found, if you like any of these, or have a different style in mind.

Filament's ordered and will be here in 1-3 days. I will look for crowns and see which you like :)

$3.79 when I bought it today, up a dollar from two weeks ago when I bought gas.

Shit, how did I get this many words written? I had to refine and edit a bit before moving on, and somehow managed to add half of my daily word count while editing. I'm not complaining, mind you. I'm just surprised. I thought I deleted far more than I rewrote.

Pickles and cheese cubes make an excellent snack. That is all :)

Feb 7 and happy birthday :)

Ah, today the words are flowing. I blew past my target, and still have more to write (taking a 5-minute break per Pomodoro) FINALLY the climax-ish scene! Hit 80k. This is going to be a little shorter than the other books, but it's still going to be more than 90k. Happy :D #writer #writing

Happy birthday to your husband-unit :)

My sons (both diagnosed ADHD) are positive I have it as well. I have trouble with the "stop eating" signal. I never feel full until I'm bloated. My gf rarely feels hungry (also suspected but not yet diagnosed) So I completely believe that. My sons both have the same issues with food.

How are you with social deduction games? My gf has been addicted to Blood on the Clocktower (you can play free with their app), and you can meet people from all over the world. Welcoming community as well.

I am working on re-learning my body signals regarding food. I managed to stop when I felt full this morning, rather than forcing myself to clean my plate. One of the hardest things to learn post-bariatric, and one of the things that faded quite quickly.

I love that analogy, and that's exactly what it felt like yesterday :) Hoping today is the feverish passion ;)

I got just under 1k words written. Not as many as I wanted, but my brain is refusing to brain. So I'm going to stop now, and go read for a bit. Time to read some more of the Sworn Soldier series from @tkingfisher.com. I started What Feasts at Night yesterday, and need to get more read!

I completely wore myself out cleaning today. I am trying to write. I need to write. This scene has been burning in my head for a few days now while I wrote everything else that needed to happen before it. Having trouble focusing though.

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

It didn't help that I also collapsed and threw away all of the empty boxes. I did leave her favorite though.

Managed to piss my son's cat off this morning. I went to his place to help him clean (depression+executive dysfunction suck), but I have the ADHD Mom trait, which meand I can't always do for me, but if someone else needs me, I'm there. But the cat did NOT enjoy the vacuum.

Nah. I think I'm good shopping elsewhere.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Yes, we will :)

But I found a nice pink. It's matte pink though.

We would have to get the right filament, but we could print one up (that would take a little longer) All I have are black, beige, and a blue/black color shift

Finally got the invoice for our vendor show this spring (and fall) We're only doing two this year, and I'm looking forward to them. As much for the location as for the show itself :) #art #artist #vendorlife

Passed 75k (actually 76k) tonight. I have the big confrontation scene remaining to write, as well as the epilogue bits. I'd hoped to get to the confrontation tonight, but my characters decided they needed a conversation before confronting the baddies.

Only problem is I need to keep getting up to give Leia her tithe of pettings, as I can't snuggle her like I can when I'm propped on the bed. She doesn't seem to mind. She has the whole bed to herself.
