    Thank You, Brain

    You know how sometimes your brain will drop a startling realization apropos of almost nothing?

    Writing one of my characters through a tender scene is like giving a stuffed animal a big hug.

    Huh. How true.

    So Slooow

    So, I had some time and got a chance to do a little writing. I plugged doggedly away for at least two hours, probably more. I was a little worried that I was dwelling too long on non-critical details and needed to move the story along. Net result? One thousand words and change. WHAT? All that effort, and that's all that comes out? Cripes. Either I'm horribly slow, or I set my expectations way to

    Avatar Fail

    Nooooo! I go and redraw my avatar to be awesome and round (and I spent FOUR HOURS on that, by the way), and now round avatars are out of style and passé! :raritycry:

Creativity · 6:47am Dec 24th, 2015

I consider myself to be a "creative", but I put most of my blood, sweat, and tears into creative projects for my day job that will probably never impact anyone. I would like to make some contribution that others will get some enjoyment from, as fluffy and frivolous as it may be, as tiny as the audience may be, but I'm missing certain skills and I don't really have the time or creative energy to perform the exercises necessary to acquire them. I want to come out and play but the five minutes between getting home from school and having to come in for dinner barely gives me time to see what the other kids are doing, let alone make friends or join an organized game.

I am envious of those people who have tons of story ideas. I find it curious that there are people out there with lots of ideas but have a hard time writing coherent prose, while I am generally good at writing prose but have no ideas to put down. I hope that someday someone will collaborate with me to take one of my few ideas and make a viable story out of it.

I can't believe I wrote this three years ago. It seems like I wrote it just yesterday. Oh well. Here's to another three years!

And add another four!
