Fall Art Immersion Club starts September 9th. This is an after school club for students. They will come in and participate in all kinds of arts and crafts activities. The first week members will be working on clay and paper boxes on Monday, Paper beads on Tuesday, Book making on Wednesday, Painting on Thursday, and paper clay doll making on Friday. Once club members finish the daily project they can work on another project from home or there are some club supplies and instructions to work on individual projects. Cost is $60. a week for 3:15pm-5:30 Monday through Friday when School is in session. There will not be meetings during school breaks. Individual days can be arranged, with preference being given to members who want to come every day. There are only six slots still available for this it will be a small group.

Writing Meeting Tomorrow night at Dragon Art

I am excited to create a new writing group. I really miss my friends from past groups when we lived in Sheridan. I am hoping the new group can get me motivated and producing more books. I think the accountability of belonging to a writing group is what I really need to be successful. This group has only been meeting a few weeks and I have already finished one book and am working on at least seven other projects. I really needed the jump start. The meeting starts at 5:30 or 6. It is a pot luck for snacks, if you like to munch while you write. (We usually get them out after the first hour, when we switch to work time.) We are asking for a $5. donation to attend. This goes towards books, the space, and maybe we will decide to sponsor a fall writing contest for kids? It's a donation, of course you can attend if you don't have five dollars. Don't let that be the reason you stay away. We are looking for a few more writers or illustrators to join us.

The first hour: we share writing/illustrating news, do some prompts, critique work, share goals, etc. Then we break up to work on individual projects, unless someone is close to being finished then we could be having an editing session to help them find any mistakes before sending it out, or self publishing.

The new book is being edited and is finished. The magazine is having another activity added. Very busy month.

I have been designing the pages for "After you are asleep." in my dreams. It must be time to work on that children's book. It is a story...well poem I wrote for my daughter Jessalynn several years ago. It is about how I miss so much of her as I rush around her and away from her working and going to school during the day, and that after she is asleep it is too late. I think it is timely and relevant with more and more families having to have all parents working. I really want to do the pictures in pastels (chalk). I used to be pretty good with charcoal and pastels, but I am out of practice and a little intimidated. I am hoping I can pull off what I envision.

Okay, if you haven't been watching what we are doing with our young artists. Check out my other blog: www.dragonartco.blogspot.com
