Living Centuries from NOW: An Update

Journal Entry: Fri May 15, 2009, 9:03 PM

I've been feeling really spacey lately. You could say that I've been living far, far away - deep in the recesses of my imagination.

Certainly not in school. Absolutely not.

I've decided that I wasn't ready to go back. (Too bad I figured it out $3000+ later...) Besides, the courses were not exactly what I had in mind. Not at all. The last two months of my foray into the world of education was all for naught, as my failure to focus on that education caused failure of another kind. And I'm actually okay with that.

I can honestly say that in the realm of Web Design, thousands of dollars taught me very little. Whether it was simply my previous knowledge of the field or the lack of courses that focus on web design (directly or indirectly), we may never know. All that's left is for me to decide whether or not to return.

For the moment, I choose not. I'm too busy foraying into another world. A world all my own.

"It began with a storm..."
...and was shelved immediately.

So remember back when I had all those polls? A new one each day of the week? I called it the "Week of Polls"? Yeah, me neither.
It was all tied to a story that was going to be fleshed out and artistically presented with the help of ~Dek-is-Filthy. Forget about it. He moved to the big city and got himself a real job. (Congrats, really!) That story is on indefinite hold, stored way in the back of my cramped little cupboard.
I've got something else in the oven.

Playing god is tough work, people.
(That's not to say I don't recommend it.)

I've been trying to get my ass in gear and write something lately. It's been so long since I just sat down and devoted myself to words; devoted myself to telling a story. But I hope things are turning up.

As I said, I've been very spacey lately, and much like the story that I've shelved, what I'm working on is rooted in science fiction. Basics are set, I just have to flesh it out and decide how I wish to present it. The previous collaboration was going to be presented in graphic novel form, and I wish to do the same here. That being said, I would have to get back to the drawing board (literally) and force myself to deliver.

I would love to do this, but I fear I don't have the time or patience to see it through. Do you think it's a good idea?
