Focus

Jane Heinrichs April 27, 2018

Happy Friday friends! I’m sitting in my studio, surrounded by piles of illustrations which I’m scanning into my computer to be edited before I send them off to the publisher. Rain is sliding down the window-panes. There’s nothing like a grey, rainy day to focus the mind on what is essential. As the fog rolls in, visibility reduces, and I find it easier to concentrate on the things right in front of me. There is only foreground, and no distracting background.

Lists abound. Lists of things I need to remember while I’m editing my illustrations in photoshop. Lists of things I still need to do (so many!). And lists of other more mundane chores: items to pick up from the grocery store, new words Mary has invented, and household tasks that need completing soon. 

What are you making lists of today? Hopefully you also have a list of fun things to do this weekend?

And, as an aside. My love letter to you goes out by email this afternoon. Make sure you’re on the list to receive it! 

Get the love letter

Thank you!
