I am behind in the ATC exchange I play with my friend, Lambie. I haven't felt very creative lately. Of course, that parlays into an excuse. Then more time is spent in the composting than in the actual composing. In a discussion with an author friend, she said there is no substitute for sitting your butt down and working. She's absolutely right. You can't create if you don't do, and you can't do if you don't create.

Just too humid for the ink. Made a second attempt, but decided the writing size was too big for the 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" ATC card. Dug out a small size dip pen and voilà!
