_Let’s see if two hours of sleep is enough, shall we?: But I hope this red bull will keep me awake at least. Anyway, I’m up and at ‘em even if I am slow on the draw. Currently behind on drawing requests but that’s something that I’ll drip feed some progress. Already scratched one item off my to-do list and I’d like to see my girlfriend if possible today (got a gift card for Texas Roadhouse I’m itching to use). If I’m too undecided to start Deep Space Sorority proper then I can at least work on some concept drafts. Excerpts, one-shots, and the like. Finally is that re-draw of April I’m eager to get to. I got time and a place so let’s get to it.
_Drawing Requests: I offered and it’d be uncouth to not deliver. For now I’ll resume with the simple requests to build up momentum. It’s not a Herculean task but I get antsy if I can’t draw something correctly and that’s why I’ve been so avoidant of the items on my queue. Some of them aren’t even in my style but ask and you shall receive.
_Dropped some reading material off at a used book store: Not sure what was in that box but I’m expecting to get some pretty good store credit once they’re finished sorting through it all. My girlfriend and I enjoy browsing this location and I’m in the market for a good paperback. Going to a sit-down restaurant with her sounds like a good conclusion for the day so I’ll put the idea forward once she’s done sleeping in. Milk tea’s also a good way to facilitate the writing process so I’m thinking she’ll maybe tag along for that one. If not, more for me.
_Concept Drafts: I think the cause of my headaches has been having an idea with no execution. As the saying goes, a writer writes. Always! So any draft is a good draft all things considered. Doesn’t have to make sense for the continuity of a larger project, but just like drawing it’s important to have fun. Another tidbit of advice is if it’s boring to write then it’ll be boring to read. Let’s turn down the critical thinking skills to eliminate the skull chatter and get some writing done.
_April, the black sheep of my character line-up: Nothing’s gonna happen while I continue to have rigid ideas about who she is or what she looks like. Similar to my drafts, it’s better to not have any serious thoughts about how to move forward with drawing her. It’s better not to think. I’ve been thinking for the better part of twenty years and it’s done me no good. I think that’s why I’m my most coherent while I’m drunk. But without invoking Hemingway (who gave himself a Kurt Cobain make-over) let’s take a more holistic approach to turning off the brain noise.
That’s it. Go away…
