Thursdaily with not enough hours in the day

Is it me, or is spam getting spammier the last few weeks? Just more and more and more of it... *dislike*

Working feverishly on the Torn World anthology, programming until code runs through my dreams and trying to keep up with cleaning and home improvement and pets and exercise. I'm starting today running a timer to keep me on track - I simply have too much to do to get distracted, and it's so easy to get - SQUIRREL!

Client meeting today, and a bunch of programming and more anthology work and some banking. Fun times!

Two reminders for you artists and writers on my list:

Portrait Adoption needs more portraits! We get the best traffic when we have fresh submissions, and people have not been getting fresh submissions in! If you are registered at PA, please consider looking through your sketchbook or harddrive and putting a little veneer on one of your half-finished pieces. The upside to having very few submissions right now is that you get a lot of front page exposure from your new work!

EMG-Zine needs 'jewel' themed submissions, both artwork and writing! We are at 85% of our funding goal to cover the first half of 2012! (I've decided that's how I'm going to fund it - 6 months in advance, 6 months ahead, so if the money dries up, we've still got at least 6 months to make EMG-Zine go out with a bang.)

BZZZZT. That's the end of my promotion time. Off to do C-C for 1 hour.

Yep, I got the feeling LJ spam is getting more frequent.

I've been meaning to join PA and commission control, I'm just sooo slow, i got to try to get some more artworks in for themes for emg-zine too! they're fun to do, I'm just a VERY slow painter! I'll try to get some in to you soon:)

My mailbox is full of spam... And I shudder how much more I'd be getting if I weren't running bogofilter.

Spam definitely seems to come in waves. I'll get a ton of it all the sudden, and then it'll peter out for awhile. Then a ton again, then, not as much. I don't know if this is due to the spread of my email address, or the cycle of spam filters, but it does seem to work that way.

Yeah, on the spam. I look in my spam filter occasionally, and there are a lot more in there these days.

I have more portraits for PA that I have been meaning to rescan ( my old scanner was putting terrible lines across the pictures) and post. I have a lot that I forget about. :)

I have been saving a wedding magazine that has all the diamond cuts in it for reference for the gem article I intend to do. Diamonds are hard! (hahaha)
Liiga has that awesome little tutorial on DA that I intend to link to as well.

I just submitted two zine pieces and one PA :) I have more for PA which are close to finished, hopefully will get to them soonish.... depends on my baby girl's naps.

Also, I've been meaning to ask. How would I donate whatever credits I might have earned for my Animal Anatomy article back to EMG-Zine? I'm lame, and seriously don't even know where to look to figure that out.

Hmmm I was trying to think of something I could submit for jewels theme. Would these shrines I like to make would count?
