Very relevant to this post.
hahaha I love how it starts. “politics is religion.”
accurate.
okay now to settle in to listening to a 50-minute video with no video.
got an interview with UWyo. o/
cross your fingers for me, pls
Good luck!
I just got out of my interview at Lexington Public, so here’s to hoping for both of us!
erp, I love you both, and you both deserve awesome jobs, so GO GO GO UNIVERSE, BRING MY FRIENDS SOME LOVE
I just read this line: “if you really like drawing it would be like killing a part of your soul to quit art.”
No. Someone might like creating. And, last I saw, you can do that in a million ways.
My creative play really took off when I was 6 and my older brother found my father’s suitcase full of old DnD books.
By middle school/high school, I was going to pursue art.
I had a falling out with art and pursued writing. And loved it. Somewhere in there I took up music, as well.
And now I’m back to art.
Will I sculpt next? Will I make paper-mache dead birds? Will I take up interpretive dance or decorative orange-peeling or perhaps just whistle made-up tunes to myself all day long?
The whole “A true artist…” crap is just that. :I
ACCURATE. I believe that even people who aren’t conventionally considered artistic can be artists. the way they put together the structure of a building can be art and creation. the way they press a fine shirt can be art and creation. the way they pare down an equation to its most crucial elements, a beautiful synergy of simplicity and complication, can be art and creation. art doesn’t mean pictures. art means expression. and some people express themselves through mediums other than pencils, tablets, and pieces of paper.
as the white crow flies: technology
the best thing
(and the worst thing)
about technologyis it will never satisfy you.
before you hold
the ever-slimmer, ever-sleeker
device in both hands
you think: with this,
it will all become clearwith this
it will all be so simpleand a defining thing happens
in the moment
when…This reminds me so much of a Douglas Adams writing, about how every new technology has that feeling attached to it, and that once we’ve had a taste for even the tiniest convenience, we think the next thing and the next will make it better.
it’s true. but I think that’s why it’s both the best and worst thing about technology. humans wouldn’t even be here if it wasn’t for technology (in the most basic sense of the word), so I think it’s awesome that it just keeps going thanks to that hollow feeling inventor-types get when they finally get what they think they wanted and it disappoints them…
New eReader. All my ponyfics on it. And real books, too. And finding a good painting program to doodle with when Sara’s on the computer.

mls-classics replied to your post: I’m so terrified of words right now
I definitely feel your pain. Have about 7 WIPs sitting around. I poke them like a confused cave-person, but they don’t magically become finished works? What is this terrible sorcery?
I’m trying SO HARD to finish a story I promised my mom’s friend for her birthday like a month and a half ago. it refuses to do much more than spring back and look funny. whyyyyyyyyy
could be that I still don’t have a consistent writing routine. I need to get on that. XD

A part of me melts whenever Jeremy Irons as Scar talks.
