Done it

I’ve started my sketchbook.

Not only have I started, I’ve drawn and written IN THE BOOK!! Now, how brave was that? (I can tell you, actually, because it took me more or less all of the day to pluck up enough courage to start!) I considered working on paper and then stitching it in, I thought about remaking the whole thing but knew that, the more complicated I made it the less likely I was to actually do anything. So, I just gotonwithit.

I can say now, it will not be precious. It will not be a work of art. It will be something I’ll enjoy and complete.

I do wish the book were made of stouter paper, though.

well done you - there's nothing like a blank sheet of paper to inspire procrastination! I've seen many sketchbooks over the last few weeks by going to a couple of local degree shows. once you've started, you'll never stop. it's looking intriguing already.

I'm impressed! Look forward to following your progress.
Maybe I should get on with mine...

Which title did you choose Gill? i am waiting on "I'm Sorry I Forgot You" to arrive - did your's take long? Bit sad that the paper sounds too thin......I

I keep promising myself I'll start writing and drawing again but spend so much time thinking about it that nothing happens. Well done, you!
