I'm still frighteningly creative, solving the accumulated plot problems of *years* in my fic like there's no tomorrow, and building three Knytt Stories levels in parallel (yesterday I created some sixty concept screens! In less than three hours! The high I got from that must have been as good as any you could get from illegal substances, I think. *g* Yes, no-holds-barred creativity is definitely addictive.)

Only problem is, technically I need to focus *completely* on my job search, because I really, really, *really* need some money... I just don't quite know how to do that. Find a job, that is. (Focus, too. Focusing is haaaaard.)

I *am* checking loads of sites every day and so on, but there's very little available in the lines of work that I could usefully do.

Oh, who am I kidding. Of course I know what I need to do (beside finding a couple of internships, that is): I need to start actually approaching companies and organisations and institutions that I'm interested in without waiting for ads.

I'm just frelling scared of that.
hmpf: Show of my heart (angsty)
So, after making great progress in a variety of areas recently, I was... afflicted with a creativity storm in the last few days. I can't really put it any other way; it's like the weather: it comes and goes as it pleases. And, like any proper storm, it causes a fair bit of chaos.

I fought it. To no avail, really - the only result was that I effectively managed to prevent myself from achieving anything on the creative front, either, while still not managing to get anything 'more important' done. Wrestling the muses down can be exhausting.

It also screwed up my sleeping again, because the nights were spent fighting with bunnies.

Lesson of the day: next time, just give in, and at least get something creative done - instead of trying to *not* give in to the urges but expending so much energy on that fight as to render myself incapable of doing anything real-lifey either.

(Well, there were *some* positive results: I have started a new, small Knytt Stories level, and I think I have solved the central plot conundrum of my LoM crossover - the one that had me stalled these past two and a half years.)
hmpf: the ears of love (ears of love)
I'm turning ten in fandom this year.

Being the obsessive-compulsive type that I am, I've kept records of my beginnings in fandom. A bit odd, that, because back then I was still fairly convinced it would only be a short, transitory type of madness, and not a lasting and defining feature of my life. Why did I feel a need to keep records of it, then? Guess some part of me knew better already. Read more... )

This time, it really *is* mostly done!

Two or three clips to exchange or nudge around a bit yet, the rest is, well, I won't say 'perfect', but pretty much exactly like I want it to be.

Except for the frelling WMM image hiccups I still haven't found *any* way to fix. Three of them, two noticeable, one minor. Grmpf.

Other than that, though, a fine first vid. *pats own shoulder*

I love it when something I make finally comes together.
