Writing

... I also have a short story published! You can read an excerpt of The Dazzling Finister here: http://ellenmillion.livejournal.com/1525920.html

I've also written about half of a novella this month, and it is SO SO nice to be writing again. It is utter fluff, but I'm loving it.


Other things

Updated Etsy extensively: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ellenmillion

Started getting orders fulfilled by Amazon (not yet sure it is worth doing...)

Write up in newspaper: http://www.newsminer.com/business/local-artist-brings-coloring-to-adults/article_d8d4ffec-1258-11e5-a4d5-9f34efd8618f.html

Got coloring books into two new stores! (Comic Shop and Woven Sylver.)

Swim lessons for Guppy - a great success! She can go by herself now and I can go swimming by MYSELF!

2 new coloring books plus reprints of another title! From the Deep and Tarot of the Water were stocked and added for sale! http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/coloringbooks.php

Fixed stuff at PA - tricky stuff I didn't think I'd be able to fix!

New couch.
