GISH Week Wrap-Up

8/10/2020

It was a great week for doing weird things for good with my team, DaCleverFoxes. With revisions for Book Witch, I wasn't able to do as much as I'd wanted, but I did five solid tasks! I'll explain them below. The collage of pics I submitted will be at the end of this post!

"Lasts" - The last something I did. I chose a picture of myself & my dear friend (& publisher) Michael. It was the last time I was in Michigan, the last hotel convention, AND the last time I was in a bar before the pandemic struck. 

"Amabie" - This painting of a mythical Japanese mer-creature was said to emerge from the sea to predict either an abundant harvest, or an epidemic. We already have the epidemic, so maybe it'll give us something positive instead!

"Mask of hope" - a mask with a message of hope on it. "Always Keep Fighting" comes from Jared Padalecki's campaign to support those with depression.

"Writer's block" - I'm a writer. This was my block. We don't get along.

"Snack attack" - those pesky snacks! I just wanted a cookie!

This year, we had a summer camp theme, so not only did we work with our own team, we also had opportunities to work with our cabinmates on different tasks. There was also a task to find a fellow GISHer that you have something unusual in common with & share it. My other teammates chose those tasks, so I didn't get any shots for that. 

It was a bummer not to be able to go out into the community as in years past, but it was fun to get to know the GISH community a little better. If you ever have the opportunity, I highly suggest it. You don't even have to be a fan of the television show Supernatural to do it. We have a lot of GISHers who've never watched an episode! 

Now, it's time to buckle down & get back to being a writer. I have a new synopsis to write (ick) before we go out on submission!

Crazy for Good

This week, I'm taking part in GISH (Greatest International Scavenger Hunt). Created by Misha Collins (Castiel from Supernatural). It's a week of doing crazy tasks with a virtual team of crazy people - all for charity. This is my 4th year. Though I can't share what I'm working on right now, I can share tasks I've done in the past. Here's a sample: my polymer clay "moon tick," and "fishing" for compliments. These were done last year, and they're two of my favorites!

Besides GISH, I've been working on revisions for Book Witch (which I introduced last week). Trying to do both hasn't been easy, but I'm making headway. Speaking of Book Witch, check out the commission I had done of Aurora, my main character!
