adieu book of goddesses

By my silence, anyone reading this journal has probably figured out that I’ve been busy finishing up The Book of Goddesses. And they would be correct. As of last week, I’ve handed in all of the art, revised manuscript, and eight cd-roms filled with digital files. I’m relieved that the book is finished. Yet it feels strangely anticlimatic. It’s also strange to not be launching into another big project immediately. But it feels like it’s time from a break: I’ll be spending much of this winter traveling to warmer places: a week in Hawaii, three weeks in California, and some time in Florida too, to visit my dear friend Lisa Hunt.

My other preoccupation these days is the afore mentioned Venice in Brooklyn launch party for The Lover’s Path. Everything is moving forward — all of the invitations were mailed out, the details are in place. And there will be a chocolate cake. What can be better than anything chocolate?

Now all I need to do is work on my presentation for the book. I’m not one for public speaking; like most artists, I’m happiest working in the studio. But the occasion demands it. And after ten years of laboring on the book, it’s a nice closure.

In my next update, I’ll have to tell you how the launch goes!
