5 things make a post
Mar. 30th, 2019 07:09 pm~*~ Nothing like new glasses to show you the clutter and crap that had faded into the background of your environment.
"Cute frames!"
Pauses in shoveling, "Thanks!" Sets desk on fire to start fresh.
~*~ I have been meaning to get serious about practicing drawing for literally years, but I haven't figured out how to go about it. When I was taught cursive, we spent a couple weeks just making circles and curves and loops before we worked on letters and words, to build the muscle memory in our fingers to make the shapes without thinking. There's got to be a way to practice some kind of fundamentals even when I'm too intimidated to tackle an actual picture? Gah.
~*~ Each time I take out a library book and then bring it back on time, I prove that I am no longer the person who didn't take back five books for eight years due to the spiral of shame. I'm the person who figured out how to break that spiral. Next task: figure out how not to get into those spirals in the first place.
~*~ I started writing this post because I was at loose ends staring at the thing I want to write, so I thought I'd warm up, and continue posting more often. I'm realizing now that one reason I'm scattered and uneasy is the headache I've been ignoring. Because body awareness is the check engine light I've stuck a post-it note over.
~*~ Maybe I should try story boarding the thing I want to work on instead, practice my stick figures as I hammer out the scenes that are giving me fits and dread.
