dA Love Looking back, I spent most of 2011 saying that I was going to do things and then not doing them. I was pretty much absent from DA for most of the year-- my last log in was back in November, but I haven't posted jack since... May? June? I can't remember. Regardless, it's pretty pathetic, and I don't really have an excuse for my lack of activity on here. I suppose the lazy days of summer ended up spilling over into the fall doldrums. And now it's winter, and I kind of feel like I'd better update this journal or I really will end up hibernating.
But DA isn't the only thing I've neglected. In my last journal entry, I'd mentioned that I was going to dive back into writing and that I was going to tackle my dark fairy tale project so that most of it would be done by the winter. Yeah, that didn't exactly go according to plan. In fact, I failed pretty miserably at starting my novel. My plan was this-- study for my exam during the day and then write at night. Well, by the time night rolled around, I just couldn't stand the thought of doing any more work― because, as fun as writing is, it's still work. I never had any trouble working on AFoR late at night, so I assumed that I'd be able to tackle my new project at night as well, but I was foolish to assume that what worked for one project would work for the other. However, I was able to get started, and I have somewhat made a dent into the story. So, I suppose, in a way, the hard part is over― it's started, and I can go back to it once I'm done with my thesis and I'm free to dedicate myself to my novel. Of course, working on my thesis every day has gotten me back in the habit of writing, and I'm starting to feel like I might be ready to go back to work on my novel, even if it means writing late at night. If I can set myself a goal of 500 words a night, then I'll be happy.
In short, 2011 was nothing but shortcomings and disappointments; I'm still pretty disgusted with myself and my general lack of productivity. But the new year's a chance to start fresh, and I know that the only way I can get myself out of the rut I've been in is by staying organized, which means a tight schedule and no excuses. I'm not going to make any resolutions. You resolve to do things that you don't really enjoy doing, like studying or exercising. But I enjoy writing and doing art. I enjoy creating. The excitement of finishing graduate school, though, made me lose sight of things I love most― but only briefly.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some art to post.
