Hello World,
Lewis Carrol once wrote, Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. And lately, that has been me with art projects.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I've been doing artsy things again. Lately I've been seeing the world as a story meant to be told or a photo needing to be captured. re-immersing myself in a way of living that I have missed.
But while this is happening I have discovered the top three problems with being a "behind-the-scenes artist":
1) Getting ideas while trying to start/finish another idea:
When I came up for the idea about this post, I was trying to finish another one so I could get started on writing a monologue for a home video I'm making. Not wanting to forget about it, I opened up a new tab, put everything else on hold and started writing. Sometimes, I get in these artistic moods where I find it hard to stay with one task. It's as though my brain has a billion little butterfly ideas fluttering around in my head and they won't settle down until I've given each of them their own individual attention.
2) Being artsy alone:
With a lot of the ideas I come up with they are the sorts that cannot be taken on alone. Making me search for someone to help with these little ventures. I have friends, just not too many in the arts I'm "good" at.
3) Looking lazy when you're creating worlds:
One of the most frustrating parts of writing is that you can spend the hour writing two chapters and creating a new language and it just looks like you're goofing off on the internet.
HKx
