The worst thing to ever happen to my drawing?

OK, look. I'll come clean. You may recall that I used to post drawings and paintings to this site rather frequently. Of course, you also might not, as it has been awhile. You might be saying to yourself, "Wait. She draws?" Yes. She draws. Or at least she used to. And actually, she should still be. Why does it matter? Because of THIS. The SFG blank book.
It is coming for me.
When they accepted me to be a part of this along with so many other amazing artists that I admired, I was thrilled. Then terrified. I thought to myself "I had better learn how to draw now." Because apparently what I was doing when they accepted me was not so much drawing. So, for no coherent reason, I decided to START OVER. My years of drawing counted for nothing in my mind, and I set about to relearn it all.
This was a bad idea for several reasons. 1.) I hate to be bored. I will not stick with things if they're boring. I had already done all this several times before, hence the boredom. 2.) Did I mention I already knew how to draw? 3.) And that perhaps honing my skills might have been more appropriate than scrapping them all? 4.)Then I started buying new drawing tools to ease the boredom and trick myself into drawing...
5.) Money spent on new drawing goodies: A LOT. Drawings done: ALMOST NONE.
I can't get my mind to slow down and get into the zone of drawing. True, this is partly due to many other things zooming around in my life. But also, it is partly due to the red alert in my own mind all the time "THE SFG BLANK BOOK IS COMING FOR YOU! THIS HAD BETTER BE A GOOD DRAWING! OR ELSE!"
For. The. Love. Of. Pete!
So...here I am. It's been several months since posting any drawings to the SFG site (or any other site, for that matter). I am woefully out of practice. And the Blank Book is only eight people away from me.
If any of you have magic wands or butt kicking abilities and can assist with some words of wisdom or...anything, really, it'd be appreciated. Because, oh, the horror!

Drawing, drawing, drawing. Drawing. Draaaawing...

If I had more time to draw, I would love to make comics. Not superhero comics, but comics that deal with the little things in life. And probably, they would star chickens. Here's a few pages from my sketchbook- I know they're just about impossible to see, but if you click on them, they get larger, and then they are almost possible to see.


Special thanks to Dan for saying "Families love cake". He's always saying things that strike me as funny in a dada-ist sense. Another classic Dan random expression: "I remember no bears."
Oh, right: so- I'm trying to draw a lot more. I now actually have the time, I just have to give it to myself.
A new obstacle to drawing: a certain little brother happens to have left a giant keyboard on my kitchen table. And it can make drumrolls and other fabulous sound effects.
ba-dump-cha!

In love...

Something new for me- pen and ink. Real ink, real pen nibs. I love it- it gives me the line quality I've been looking for for so long! Why did I not try this sooner?
I drew up a few of these little cards yesterday...oh my goodness do I love to draw. I haven't had much time to sit down and focus lately- this was such a treat!
