I’ve been in a funk.
I’ve been drawing less and slipping back into bad habits. I’ve heard the siren call of American Pickers and video games and I have answered. Also my computer is growing old and unreliable. It’s provided a convenient excuse not to do anything.
I’ve used this blog to confess my sins; to list the mistakes and decisions I’ve made that have led me to where I am today. I’ve not enjoyed this process but I believe it’s important. My old plan of bottling it all up and ignoring it really hasn’t worked out. With that in mind, I have another confession:
I don’t like hard work.
Yeah, I never would have considered drawing one eyed monsters hard work either and it’s not. It’s fun. But drawing them day after day, striving to improve, that is when things get difficult.
I intended to change my life, to live more creatively, but intention is not enough. For real results it is going to take work and sometimes the work is going to seem like a slog.
So what.
Watching television is easy. So is playing video games. It’s always going to be a challenge to resist the easier path. Yet the work is worthwhile. It’s good to remind myself of that.
The plan is to return to posting regularly. I’d like to get back to posting once a week, adding days once I get back into the habit. Now if you excuse me, I’ve got work to do.
