I’m not going to go into detail about the ‘Nicaragua Incident’ (as we now like to call it!) … Michael has written a blog post that describes what happened better than I could. It was the scariest travel experience I’ve ever had and it put an end to my drawing for a while, partly because they took my pencil case along with everything else and partly because I was shaking like a leaf for the next week and drawing wasn’t high on my list of priorities!!
So … I’ve given myself a month’s leave from the project, which means I’ll have to add another month on at the end. I’m due to start again this week and I think it will be hard getting back on the horse! I have to confess, it’s been quite nice not having to worry about what I’m going to draw and when I’m going to fit it in, and then feeling guilty if I miss a day :) That said, I do really enjoy it as well, and there’s a certain sense of achievement looking back over a couple of full sketch books … even if it doesn’t really ‘mean’ anything in the long run. So I guess I’ll be back in October!
