I've thought this for awhile, but today I was trying to piece together an article for class and it just seemed even more true then usual.
Writing is like sewing.
This article for example? Pretty much a 1200 word copy-paste of interviews I conducted with other words thrown in to help the whole thing flow. (And it's completed! Hooray! And before one in the morning! Double hooray! :P) But earlier on I felt like I was just taking ragtag pieces of words and awkwardly stitching them together.
It's the same with my fantasy/sci-fi works, only instead of sewing together pieces of interviews, I stitch together half seen images of characters and what they're doing. It's sorta like sewing half remembered memories together...except, ya know, it never really happened. Although that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't have any Truth in it...
Sorry, sorry, no half-existential thoughts after wearing out my brain on homework. n_n;
Anyway, must rest. I just really wish that I had some sketches to put up here already, but none of them are actually finished so...I guess not right now. Tomorrow. I'm putting something up tomorrow whether it's finished or not! Ho ho! Determination! ;3
I also wish I could sew better...
G'night.
