i have to admit: it's getting better all the time (i can't get no worse). actually, things are just as bad as they are good, but it's better to take appreciate it all. i was thinking the other day about how artists are often fueled by their pain/problems and so if we can take bad things and turn them into something worthwhile, then every moment we live really is worth it. there's a lot more "philosophical" thought to it, but i guess that's the gist of it.

ohh, i feel like i've abandoned my art! i haven't drawn in almost a month! i've been too busy writing short stories and poetry and working on guitar that i haven't had time to draw! i hope i can find some more balance, i miss it and love it every time i do it.

there is a world that has been growing within me, almost without me. tons of ideas based on the one picture with the girl in tights holding hands with the sunny sun, it sprouted and now it's the base for a book of short stories i want to write. i have a little black book now and later that saves most of my ideas although time is always against me, the home team, as it were, and most of them will probably sleep there for some time until i get back to them one day. of course, better saved than lost, and it's odd to think of all the odd things that i think about and never really recorded in any way before. now they'll be there, without me even.
