It's 10 til 3AM. I didn't charge my phone, and Eric probably won't be able to call me tomorrow. Whine, bitch, moan. There was a paragraph here but it wasn't relevant to everything else and nobody needs to hear my long distance relationship angst. We're here for art, and non-art soul searching is best left in the LiveJournal where I have a more exclusive audience.
It's writing time and the tea just wore off.
Why is it that I can never make myself focus on something creative until it's the last minute and I'm half asleep? I think I have to be tired to relax enough to overcome creative blocks. I stop caring whether it's good and just focus on having something to turn in. My writing/drawing ritual is to play Puzzle Pirates or Rocket Slime and watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer until the night before the homework is due, and then I get properly started once the rest of the world is properly in bed and only my little Shadow is around for company. She's currently somewhere in the corner by her scratching post, or she was when I last heard the jingle bell on her collar. Ah, she's under the chair but turns to look at me when I lean forward to find her.
Yup, the writing ritual is procrastination, video games and TV followed by tiny spurts of productivity accompanied by beverages and music. But I'm always hesitant to turn the music on because that is the final phase. Music means I am really serious about what I'm doing and need something to keep me on task because there is no time left to waste writing journal entries that are not the fictionalized story of my first kiss that I have two hours to find a way to print tomorrow before turning it in. Some of that Puzzle Pirates time should have gone into fixing Bucephalus the trusty desktop PC, or finding a way to hook the Lappy up to my printer.
Eep, 3AM. Time for the music. Here come the drums here come the drums. Jonathan Ross Show. A bit much of the waffle, but the best music there is.
I'm almost brilliant at the last minute. If I could find a way to induce this state a bit sooner, I could really be proud of the things I made. Must find way to lessen game time and increase sleepy creative confidence.

On Fan Art: Learning to Love It More
On Fan Art (Personal Rules and Reframing the Shame of Making Fan Art at All)
Japanese language uses the phrase “Tsumaranaimono desu ga…” — “It’s a boring, small, meaningless gesture, but…” [I hope you can find it in your hardest of hearts to like worthless little old nuisance me in all my obnoxiousness anyway?] I wish the people I draw fan art for spoke Japanese, because then they would instantly understand exactly how I feel if I actually give someone a picture I drew of them.
The only thing worse than fan art is wondering if you should or shouldn’t take the time to draw fan art. For
Devious Journal Entry
Oh, sometimes I write and other times I draw stuff.
I finished an art degree and realized I am not doing the things you need to do to make a career out of art.
So now I mostly write stuff.
I'll be back when I design more things that are worth posting or selling. Or which sell or promote other people's stuff. That's probably better with my art.
Art skills on indefinite hiatus.
Still trying to figure myself out. The gallery remains to remind me what I can do when I am motivated.
