Jump Into The Studio!

StudioLooong

Would you all ever consider switching up the time and/or day of the live sessions? You all and SCBWI have your digital events on the same day at the exact same time every week I know that I can just catch a recorded version of one or the other but I like to be there live and ask questions if I can. It's so hard to choose!

@StudioLooong Agreed! for me it is 10 pm and hard to concentrate on a screen that well after a day of illustrating / with the kiddo

Julia

@nadyart 6am for me! And I am not an early riser my mind is still in a deep blur... if I am at all awake!

@LisaF Thanks, and yes, I got the email correction this morning!

I agree with the others who suggested varying times. It's 10pm for me too, and while I am often still awake (nominally), that is the hour when I am trying hard to wind down because I tend to get insomnia. I am wearing glasses in the evening due to spring allergies, and between putting them on so I can see the screen and taking them off every 30 seconds to read the chat, and trying to hold the computer open enough in my lap to see it up close but having it slide down my lap because I can't sit at my desk anymore...oh, yes, it seems like such a silly complaint when there is so much else going on, but you get the idea! It just means I really value being able to participate despite the resulting sensation of carsickness , and we even have people who are getting up in the middle of the night to do so! Which means we really love the sessions!!!

And yes, the SCBWI thing too.

Unfortunately I missed it, gorgeous day and had to get my kids out hiking! Will catch the replay for sure!

LisaF

Hi all! Just fyi, we are taking a little break this week from the live studio series. Next Thursday, May 14 is our regularly scheduled Critique Arena. Then we'll pick back up again with the live studio series on May 21

In the meantime, if you missed any of the previous live sessions, now is a good time to get caught up! All the sessions have been added, including @davidhohn's. You can find 'em here. Enjoy!

@LisaF Hi Lisa. Not sure if you've sent out the email already but I haven't received the zoom invite for the live demo with Vesper Stamper scheduled for later today. TIA!

LisaF

@Neha-Rawat Hi there! I emailed you

LisaF

Hi everyone! We are hanging out with Vesper Stamper today!

She'll be sharing her process with an Alice and Wonderland piece, and talking about her upcoming illustrated YA novel, A Cloud Of Outrageous Blue. It's a coming of age story set during the Great Plague of 1348, something we can all relate to given the current state of affairs.

We'll be getting started at 2PM MDT, check here for other time zones. @Lee-White and @Will-Terry will be there too!

See ya then!

@LisaF I didn't get the link either, can you send me the link as well?
