What's going on

I'm slowly putting together my artist website, Angela Boyko Art.

Progress is slow because:

• I'm also looking for work
• I had a job interview yesterday!
• I'm also building a mermaid niche website at the same time
• I'm also constantly creating new products for Zazzle
• I went to Red Deer this weekend to celebrate my birthday
• I'm also learning SEO and marketing
  
• I'm also writing chapter 4 of my Crowen fanfiction Branching Out




• I have three cats that demand my attention on occasion. Not today, because I clipped their claws and they're all mad at me.




• I cook at home rather than eat out, so there goes some time.




• I need to sleep. I need to practise good sleep hygiene. So staying up until 1am to code doesn't work for me.

One of my Zazzle stores is 12 Steps Serenity. I just added a Serenity Collection to the website. I forgot knitting! This is part of a group blanket going to the ICU at the Foothills hospital. What have you been up to lately?

Parentverse - behind the scenes of fanfiction

Warning for teases about my next big Parentverse story, "Branching Out". I wouldn't really call them spoilers, your mileage may vary.

One of my hobbies is writing fanfiction. Specifically, Cristina/Owen "Crowen" from Grey's Anatomy.

I just loved this pairing so much that I started writing to fill in the gaps. If they were butting heads onscreen or not communication clearly, I could write a story where they work things out.

I had some little vignettes in my first story "Six Times That Owen Says Thank You to Cristina" and people told me that they wanted to know about what happened in between. Specifically, how did they become parents to the unnamed daughter at the end?

So I wrote "The Twenty-Four Months Before" to explain what happened in the twenty-four months before their daughter, Chloe, was born.
