    A clean office leads to spending time in it. I found some things from the past as I started getting all my story notes in order.

    I also opened up some lovely new soft lead pencils

    20130113-193054.jpg
    and started working with a brush pen again.

    20130113-193046.jpg
    It felt really, really good to not only have a space to work, but the fire in my belly to get to work on some things!
