Even though I promised myself to publish posts every week, I haven’t done it in months. Why? Well, you could blame it all on life.
As I wrote in the previous post (Update -> details) I’ve been working really hard on my story. I decided to make sure I had every possible detail of my world written down before I started writing, I even started working on my own language! And, of course, all of that I had to do in my free time. But there were two problems: finding that free time and sitting down to do the job. Don’t get me wrong, I love doing all that. I was basically creating an entire world, along with culture, religion, a bit of history. But I was not always motivated. However, I did manage to get almost all needed details on the ancient civilisation. And I also did manage to write a post about all that work.
Now, about Update -> details. I actually wrote that post in the beginning September. The only thing that kept me from publishing it was the fact that I needed an artwork that would work for the post. And my philosophy on that forbid me from googling a picture and using it. I needed my own art, and that was for a few reasons.
1) I don’t want any problems with people who wouldn’t appreciate me using their art. I understand why they wouldn’t be fine with it and I don’t want to trouble them. And myself. It’s better to use something that’s mine.
2) It’s my blog and I want to use my art.
3) I’m stubborn and if I say that there’ll be only my own art, you won’t find art that isn’t mine.
Now the problem with the artwork was that a) I had to finish it, b) it suddenly disappeared. My computer deleted it which might be because I forgot to save it. I of course remembered how it looked like and might have tried drawing it all over again but the thought didn’t seem too… well I wasn’t gonna do it.
So I decided to draw something else. It took me around 2,5 h but hey, the Phoenix looks cool, I think. If you don’t think it’s a Phoenix, well, not my fault. I spent enough time on it. And so, after a long time of drawing, the post is published. And after all that months, I haven’t read it this one more time, I was too tired after a whole day of staring at my computer. Just when you read that post… keep in mind it’s from September. Now there’s actually some bigger progress with the language.
Good luck with whatever you’re working on
Steph
