Yesterday, I finally purchased a drawing book and took the first steps toward overcoming my fear of sketching. (I’ll tell you about the book later, once I’ve had a chance to work with it a bit more.)

Aptly, the first exercise instructed me to get into bed and draw cats. Of course, I obliged. And, while the first few minutes were pretty rough, I’m pleased to report that, when the time was up, some of my cats actually looked like cats! (Mind you, most of them did not.)

At least it’s a start.
