>VCCA: Roof

>It’s amazing what that blue sky does for a roofline, ya know? Monday and Tuesday here were pretty similar, although today was warmer. I worked reasonably well in the mornings both days, but really kicked it after taking a walk in the woods in the afternoon. I’m continuing the pattern of working on a story from the new collection until I get to a good stopping poing (like, say, the end), and then moving on to a piece from the flash project. I actually finished one of each today (although the flash’s ending might be too abrupt, so it could stand to be a little less flashy; we’ll see). After dinner this evening I went back out to the studio and figured out what I’ll work on tomorrow, so I should be able to get a running start in the AM.
