My wonderful brother Aaron Thorup has created a blog for using GIMP, an opensource art program that rocks.

GIMP ed 101

He has a few tutorials up that I plan on checking out and I hope you will too.

Thought I would post a link to my Fanfiction.net account if anyone is interested in reading some side stuff I have written.

Not sure how I find the time to do it, but besides Lithia and Founders, I am working on a story called Into Dark.  If you're a Narnia fan, I encourage you to read it.  Like Birth of Light it's a story that's not my primary concern, but it's something I'm doing for fun and to keep my writing skills sharpened.

I have started writing Lithia and will hopefully get an info page up for it here soon on both Xenithar's Lair and The Chronicles of Libera home site.

Well, I'm off to buy supplies for jewelry making!

I have added a page that has advice for writers.  I hope everyone here can find it useful!

Here's a thumbnail link to an art piece I just did - thanks again Taelifoe for letting me borrow your tablet!

I have added a calendar to X'sL.  I thought of it recently because Sofina and I are planning on doing a little filming project, and we may use part of it for that.  I can also be used for the members if they wish to post different events of interest.  For the time being, only members of Xenithar's Lair will be able to view the calendar.

If members wish to put an event on the calendar, they can message me through my profile "Sarah Thorup" or they can leave a comment on this blog entry.

Libwiki update: an article for Book 3 of The Legend of Draconite: E'lsra has been recently created.
