| I found this on a sculpting group I'm a part of, and it's quoted from the blog of Tom Meier, who's a very good miniature sculptor.
"You aren't going to get far if you are motivated by other people's praise or enjoying thinking of yourself as something special because of what you do. Motives like these interfere with clear thinking and are silly in any case. You are the same person with the same value no matter what you do or what people say about you, other people's opinions don't change what you are. Comparing yourself to others may be a very common, even instinctive drive in humans, witness all the tests we take which tell us nothing useful about ourselves but only how we rank with others who have taken the test. You have to really get it through your head and deep down into the core of your being; this sort of thing is absurd and counterproductive. If you want to become really good at anything you have to want to do it for its own sake and not for some other end. That's not to say you can't enjoy sharing your work but you should share it the way you'd share some food you like, and not regard it as having any bearing on your own or the other's value if they don't like the taste."
Interesting. ^^ | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |

( so you're getting four. So sue me. Some possible GP and SB spoilers )
A note to go with this. While I was trying to remember Ransom's family name, I was skimming through my old files and I happened across one with a story about a boy named Ronan. It was one of my old works, granted, and it didn't have a lot of depth, but it actually wasn't that bad. What's more notable is that this is the story from which Cyrenna the fan character got her name, from a snappish doctor who was helping Ronan (I can't imagine Cyrenna being snappish now...). Oddly enough, there's another character who's named Locke...I'd entirely forgotten about him! Lately I've been going back over my old work and looking at it with an open mind. I do realize that I need to start writing again. ^^;;; It would be nice to get away from the extremely slow pace of manga. Books may be slow, but manga is way slower. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |

...So yeah, I guess everyone knows I upgraded my account now. ^^;; Thanks for the info, guys. I likey my new icons. Much love for Linkie, Will, Serge and...the Flying Man. ...Right. What is with me and old games?

| | Well, I hadn't made any serious plans to enter the Christian Comic Competition again, but...well...I guess i will. >.> I've had several people ask if I was going to enter (including the guy who runs the competition itself. o.o) So, I sat down this morning and wrote a script for it. If nothing else, it'll be something to put up on CM. ^^;; Anyone else planning on entering? I'm wondering if there will be more people entering this year... | comments: 7 comments or Leave a comment  |
| Okay, Myrrhlynn, here's a post. :)
For everyone else, I have an announcement to make. There are a lot of factors influencing my decision...people who talk to me regularly already know part of them...^^;;;...but I pulled SB out of the publishing deal. Now...it sounds bad upfront, BUT...yes, that means SB will be returning to the internet, for everyone to read for free. ^^ However, it won't be back until I've finished working on other projects; namely, GP. I should be able to put that site online in the next 2-3 weeks, and that will have the first chapter online. So it'll be a while. However, that will give me ample time to do some necessary reworking to the plot. It'll be a lot different than everyone remembers it, but that's all for the better anyhow. I've learned so much since the first issue of SB. I'd like to think I actually know how to write a story worth reading. XD;; | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment  |

| So why am I posting now, some of you may ask? Well, the fact of the matter is, due to the fact that our ISP loves to cap our bandwidth, we were reduced to practically dialup speeds for a while and I couldn't even access LJ most days. So, here I am, with a whole bucketload full of new avatar goodness. I did something I've never done before; borrowed avs from other LJ people. (leaving credit where appropriate) So the new lineup is...1 Twilight Princess Link as my default (>3), 1 Lucca, 1 Earthbound (omgosh Earthbound av!) and two Mario RPG (double omgosh!). I left the holiday cat for now. I wish I could have found some more Twilight Princess avs that I liked, but they were all undecorated and so bland. I want a Midna av. :( The default Link av is so cold and weird...I don't know why I like it but I do.
Well, this isn't much of a post, but it's my bedtime, so...baibai. More posts later.

| Reposted from a letter I wrote to Scott earlier.
Secondly...wow. Today I was just miserable...I was hit with what could be nothing other than a really bad spiritual attack. The whole Seattle thing grated on my mind over and over and over until I was almost sick with the whole thing (physically sick). All kinds of bad thoughts were in my head...it was like the old depression days, y'know? Like I was really pathetic, and the reason that [edited:reason that something happened that I'll post about some other time] was because I wasn't cut out for animation, I was a failure, etc, and how I ought to just quit the company before I made everyone look bad. Finally, tonight, I sat down and continued reading a book that Lisa sent me about spiritual battle...I'd read a pretty good size chunk of it already, but somehow it really hit home tonight...a real blessing. And I really started praying over some of the things I was thinking about, from the perspective of what I now knew, and I started finding clear answers. In short...I believe God told me I am almost, but not quite, ready to go, and I think that's the source of some of the problems...the timing isn't perfect yet. There are a few more things that God wants me to do here before taking off, but it will happen, maybe not tomorrow, or the day after, but I got the feeling it would be soon. I was also given such reassurance about the future, about how LR will continue to do well, and how I'd be a part of everything, how I might actually be a decent director someday. lol. I'm oddly at peace with the whole thing.
I know you guys are all well-versed in this, so it's probably nothing particularly special, but at least I feel better about it. :] The idea that there's a purpose (or cause, or whatever) behind it is very reassuring, though.
We'll call that an update. XD | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment  |
| Yay, old avatar~ I need another new one but got no ideas for one...bleh.
We decorated the house with lights yesterday. Just in time for Christmas! (barely...) I need to get some pictures...even if it's not a particularly elaborate display. Surprisingly, in this very very rural area, just a couple of miles up the road, there's a huge display where three different houses put out many many many lights. Hmm, I should go back there and get pictures too. XD It's really nice.
I guess the reason I wrote was seeking a bit of encouragement on a couple of fronts. Firstly, even though I told Scott I wouldn't be coming to Seattle, he's trying to convince me to come anyway, no matter what anyone says. I don't believe this is necessarily true, but he says I'm the best person for this job. And you know...I'm just not sure about that. There are so many people who are better at that kind of thing than I am...meh. =_=\ But anyway...I'm still torn on the issue. I want to go, but...I dunno. It's just so far. And I doubt I'd ever be able to finish anything of my own, which brings me to...
...the fact that lately I feel like I haven't been able to do anything creative that's worth a crap. All of my projects...SB, LLW, Gabriel...they're all just sitting there, gathering dust. I pull out LLW pages occasionally, but I can only do a little bit of work at a time before someone yanks me up to go do something else. I would love to finish LLW, but...I'm not even sure it's that good a story. I'm not sure anyone would even care. It's taking me so long to finish that I don't see any steady progress, and I just feel like it will never get done. I guess I could beg for help and pushes in the right direction, but that doesn't seem right either. I just don't love working on it like I used to...or maybe I've gotten so far out of the habit that it just seems hard. The pages look good enough, I guess. I just need an inker and a toner who won't...ya know..abandon me partway through. Like someone else I know. >.o (you know who you are)
I dunno, I'm just feeling sorry for myself, I guess.
On another note, at least my Christmas shopping is done. ^^;; I'm actually kinda halfway excited about Christmas this year, which is something I haven't been in a long time. Christmases for the last few years have seemed so bland. I'm not sure if it's the fact that we're here with family or what, or maybe I'm just excited about seeing people open the gifts I got for them, but at least it's something to look forward to. So Merry Christmas, yo.
Hmm, I need to dig up some more Christmas music...o.o | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment  |
| Well, Scott gave me the official contract and offer letter to go to Seattle a few minutes ago. I have yet to spring the idea on mom and dad. Serious prayer requested that God's will be done.
We went to Ft. Smith today with Candace to pick up my cousin PJ from the airport (he had a rental car there) so we decided to go shopping. I got a new pair of slacks to wear to my grandparents' anniversary party on the 4th. I should have eaten something before I left, though...but I got all weird and my blood sugar dropped and I didn't say anything. I just remember nearly crying in the store, and starting to cry at the airport as I watched a plane take off from the runway. It reminded me of the prayer request above and how uncertain my future feels. Anyway, around six we got a burger at Sonic...and a few miles away from the Sonic, the aforementioned burger ended up deposited on the side of the road. Dangit, I don't know why I don't constantly carry snacks. Oh wait, yes I do. I'm fat enough as it is. >.< Anyway, at least I'm feeling a little better now. No idea if everything in this post makes sense to anyone at all, since my head is all fuzzy. | comments: 7 comments or Leave a comment  |

| I just realized this morning that it's been nearly a year since I bought any manga (the last was for Tristan's birthday).
It's just...wow. How am I supposed to be considered good at what I do if I only buy manga once a year? lol Actually it really surprises me. I have some Walmart gift cards, but not sure what to buy. I could continue Fruits Basket or Full Moon or FMA or something like that, I guess, but I'm kinda in the mood to try something new. My problem, at least in part, is that these days, the plots of anime and manga just really really bore me. They say Japanese plots are so cool and different...and yeah, they're different to western plots, but...they're mostly alike amongst themselves. lol Especially shoujo. So I want to find something that really surprises me that it's so good. And...does anyone know of one with a decent ending? lol | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment  |
