Wriggles

Day Ten for Imaginary Life Eight, Playwright:

Read some of our old work today. I don't know what keeps holding me back from writing.

Creative blocks are mysteries, jumbles of will the mind manages to wriggle in and out of. There's some way out there to make it possible I imagine.

Who knows?

wafts about a rush hour train

I'm at a loss. I'm sure I'm going to have to quit doing some of these soon, seeing as the move is exerting pressures from all angles. I'd rather not, but I'm not sure I'm doing myself any favors trying to juggles this on top of everything else.

Expect potential hiatuses in the future.

Our Lord, Broken

Day Eight for Imaginary Life Five, Carpenter:

I need to be doing something with my hands.

I hate doing stuff on the computer.

The conceptual stuff makes my head spin...I've been in abusive office spaces too long. It was poison for the brain and I'm in the fallout. I've got to get it together.

Back to the hands...Let's carve and build and grow. Let's cook and connect. The screens are a whole new death. The screens make the mind numb and bleed. Curiosity has trapped me and habitual hell.

Break it.

Break it.

Break it today.

Haiku of the Day:
Looming skyscrapers
slide in and out of the mist
Demigods on earth

Today's Drawing

Empyreal

1 : of or relating to the heavens or firmament : celestial
