Surprise Sunday

Okay, new year, new name for Sunday posts. It can be an Art Sunday, a Guest Sunday, a Six Sentence Sunday – whatever, I won’t know ahead of time, LOL! 🙂

I’ll start the year with a Poll for my 160 wonderful followers and 190 Facebook fans (and my Facebook friends, but not all of them speak English…) – don’t worry, it’s totally anonymous, don’t be afraid to answer! 🙂 And yes, multiple choices are fine too! 😉

Whew, it’s become easier to embed the polls in blog posts. Thanks WP! Lots of changes since my last poll, LOL! Anywhow, I hope this poll gets at least 100 votes (the others got a dozen votes in total…) – so go hit those buttons, thank you! 🙂 Don’t make me whine it was worse than a year ago when I had half of the followers I have now…

Now we’re back to the old theme, as snow has stopped falling on WP blogs… and hasn’t shown in this town yet. But then, last year we had snow in February – the best snow since 1985.

Art Sunday! A drawing of Amazonia – will be used on the e-book cover, but not as is. Thought I’d paste it in the blog post, but there’s already one image today, so you’ll have to click on the above link to see the first Amazon Queen and read about the birth of this drawing! 😉 And then you have Selene the Huntress and her sister Aurora – first drawings with new graphic tablet mentioned in previous post! 😉 Doesn’t look different, does it? That’s why you Wacom lovers and true artists shouldn’t hiss at me. I know Wacom is the best, but for my skills Trust works fine too! 😀

Participated in the poll 🙂 I’d like your blog for your Surprise Sundays too, when they become a regular feature. (“Sunny Sundays?”) I’m curious, why’s Amazonia’s one hand hidden in her dress?!

  As I can’t guarantee sun on Sundays, I’ll stick to Surprise Sunday – with an undertitle stating what it actually is (Art, Free Fiction, Guest Post… by the way, would you like to ramble on some Sunday this year? I’ll gladly have you, with or without caricatures! :)).
  As for Amazonia’s hidden hand… I need to keep this blog PG, so if you really really want to know, I’ll tell you in a private message. Just know she hates men and loves to torture them! 😉

Surprise Sundays are fine then 🙂 And why not. I think I am rather good at rambling, and I’ll be happy to ramble on your blog too. Let me know when – except Jan 13th and 27th. About Amazonia’s hidden hand…I think I’ve understood. Let the hidden hand remain hidden then 🙂

  Set you up for the 20th? The 13th is taken… or you can do February if you want more time! Just let me know! 🙂
  Let’s say Amazonia hides a murder weapon and it’s not a knife – and leave it at this! 😉

  Life, the universe… ahem! Sorry, I thought you were a reincarnation of Douglas Adams! 😉
  What you do and what you like – like I do on my blog. I ramble about what I do (write&draw) and what I like (movies&books)! 🙂

    Douglas Adams? I remember seeing this name on your website. This gentleman is a writer, I presume – but you speak of reincarnation…
    OK. I’ll plan – but I am dead in this world until Monday. So I’ll start thinking about it after Monday. I think I’ll write a story. That’s what I like doing the most…telling stories 🙂
    – S.

      He wrote The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy (and a few more titles, but that’s what he’s famous for – they even did a movie of it) and he’s been dead for a long time. Although you were probably already born when he passed! 😉
      Write what you want! 😀

        Oh…then I am not his reincarnation. I like to believe that I am Leonardo Da Vinci’s reincarnation 🙂 There are enough similarities there…except for the gender issue!

Did I tell you that I intend to write a story in the Fantasy genre? I’ve been thinking more about it, I could have you as the heroine 🙂

    Oh…it could be something entirely different – who could ever track the mind of a caricaturist?

      so true!
      Although I guess it’s very similar to the mind of a writer, LOL! 😀
