Not what I actually wanted to write about....

I should write down awesome ideas when I get them.  Because otherwise they fly out the window, unless they come in the form of awesome dream.  Then they sear themselves into my brain and with enough effort I will remember them.

But not when it comes to awesome things to blog about, that idea flew out my head and never returned.  I have vague ideas about what the idea was... And where I get it from.  But when I focus on those vague squirmy things, they run and hide.

So all that to say I have no freaking clue what to blog about this week.

But I've finally gotten over my art block, which is fantastic because I've decided to do some paintings for some people for Christmas, and have managed two out of four!  (I started the first one way back in July to give you a hint as to how long I've been struggling, hahaha!)  The second one I managed to finish in about 3 hours, so it's nice to know I still can paint at my usual pace when I get to it.

I've been actually writing again too which is fantastic!  I discovered part of the problem was that I was writing from the wrong point of view.  Normally I completely and totally fail at first person, (which I heard most people write that the easiest... I've never been normal :D) but it's actually writing really well, so hopefully I can start making progress on it!  I just still need to iron out the kinks of what the heck goes on when and where for the rest of the story.  I know where it starts and where it goes, but I need to figure out what scenes are necessary to get it there.  But that's what drafts are for, I have to keep reminding myself over and over again.

I did post a short story I wrote a while ago on my newly created third deviant art account (I have a love hate relationship with that site for sooo many reasons I don't need to go into).  But if you'd like to read it here's the link: http://equusdraconis.deviantart.com/#/d4isb3e

It was another one of my dream turned story ideas.  Most of my stories actually started from dreams.  Just with all the weirdness taken out of it.  (I once had a dream of a ninja that had to eat pizza pockets to stay alive if he got wounded....  And one where I died when I got stabbed in the foot...)  That last one is actually the one that inspired the above short story.

Pony hurt herself again this time I'm honestly not worried about it.  I think I've finally resigned myself to the fact that it's going to be an up and down struggle for a long while so might as well stop worrying about it.  We'll get into that show ring eventually.   It probably didn't help that her boots froze that one day... and then I failed at wrapping polos a few days later and grabbed different boots.  Such is life!

In other news me and my mom are in agreement.  Daniel Craig is hot.  We just watched Cowboys and Aliens.  It was a fun movie!  I want me an alien killing cowboy.  I'm not picky or anything.
