notes

So, I'm taking a break from this writing a story a week business. This productivity schedule is self imposed, anyway. And besides, this is some of the most recent art that I've done. How the heck am I supposed to come up with a story for something like that?

I'm not exactly certain how this drive to be creatively productive became so deeply ingrained in me to begin with; but it's way down in there. I sometimes think of it as a tiny man with a hammer in my head, cobbling images and ideas together. It could be that this image is one of his schematics.

He doesn't have much of a sense of humor, this guy with the hammer in my head. And nothing I do is ever quite enough for him. It doesn't matter that other people get to just watch TV or read a book or play a video game because they want to. I have to finish my chores before I can do anything like that, meaning that I have to write something according to this hammer person's specifications. Of course, skipping my chores is always an option, but he lets me know about it when I do.

So if you're worried about me stopping, don't be! This blog and its art will go on, at least. The guy with the hammer isn't about to let me stop with that. And the fiction writing will go on, but probably in a different format. (After the writing convention I went to this weekend, Imaginarium, I'm feeling more optimistic about getting published in something other than a blog post.)
