So there&#8217;s lots of catch up on, so I&#8217;m just going to dive right in with the work of <a href=\"http:\/\/summerpierre.wordpress.com\" target=\"_blank\">Summer Pierre<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/summerpierre.wordpress.com\" target=\"_blank\">Summer Pierre<\/a> is well-known for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/summerpierre\/sets\/72157621225613416\/\" target=\"_blank\">writing and illustrating one-page illustrated stories<\/a>, which occasionally gets published in zine form. Her latest project is 100 stories in 100 days \u2013 in which she flexes her muscles further by committing to a daily regime of creating. You can read more over at her <a href=\"http:\/\/summerpierre.wordpress.com\" target=\"_blank\">blog<\/a>, or check the collection out over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/summerpierre\/sets\/72157631557260095\/with\/8108227276\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take-away message for the week:<\/strong> Stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone and exercise those creative muscles! If you&#8217;ve been doing the same thing over and over again, why not change things up a little? Whether it&#8217;s changes in frequency (like what Summer is doing), or changes in the selection of your subject matter (drawing cupcakes all the time? Maybe it&#8217;s time to trade it in for a messy plate of spaghetti!) \u2013 don&#8217;t be scared to mix it up a little.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230; <a title=\"Summer Pierre&#8217;s 100 stories\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/2012\/10\/22\/summer-pierres-100-stories\/\" aria-label=\"More on Summer Pierre&#8217;s 100 stories\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37842,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":""},"categories":[172,75,80],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27726"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27726"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27726\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27732,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27726\/revisions\/27732"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
