It’s the little things sometimes. Usually.
Hard to believe this storyline started back in February. Then the calm satisfaction of finishing the journey, quickly followed by the anxious panic realizing you have no idea what you will do next week since you pretty much had a roadmap for months.
Ah creativity. You fickle monster.
Some days you can’t even get through the apocalypse without a hassle. Amitirite?
It’s like that time when my friend Paul asked, “What do you think Bethany is doing right now?” and I was like, “Dude what do you think? Shuffling around the inside of that refrigerator truck with the blank stare of the living dead craving human flesh like 89% of the rest of the state.” and he was like, “But seriously you think she’s thinking about me?” and I was like, “Dude she’s a friggin zombie she ain’t thinking about nothing.”
It’s late. I should log off.
Gettin’ a little crowded out at that thar apocalypse.
I read To Kill a Mockingbird back in late grade school. Even though I only read it once, it stuck with me and was the first “assigned” book I really liked. Like most kids I assumed I would not and then halfway through it took hold. So now some decades later it still has an important place in my heart.
Full disclosure: I know almost nothing about the sequel. I know what I am hearing is motivating me more to avoid it than anything else. I doubt I would have liked any sequel really. But it’s not my book – not my characters. Not my call. Still, like Catch-22, in my mind the story stopped with the first novel.
NO SHARSIES.
In other news, I suggest checking out Best WebComics. The folks there are working on creating a place where readers can find great comics and discover new ones in an easy to browse setup. Not to mention other news, articles, and interviews. Worth taking a stop over and browsing.
Impact point has been waiting in the wings for a while and its time has come. At first glance it may seem like a morbidly pessimistic way to handle a bad situation, but one could argue perhaps that it is actually optimistic. A reminder that in thousands of years whatever it is will seem minuscule by comparison so why let it bother you so?
No actually that is equally bad. Never mind. The point is we all deal with stress in our own way. Or something.
I keep a small sketchbook that I write ideas in. If you do anything creative, you hear that a lot – keep a list, write it down. Believe me – do it. You will forget if you don’t. I can’t tell you how many times I open the book and see something I forgot I even wrote down. Not all are ready for use, but many, over time, will evolve into something interesting. Also the number of times I didn’t have the book, and by the time I got to it….idea was gone. Pity. Anyway – keep a book.
