What Is This?
I have had this place for creative projects for about 10 years now, and I've done almost nothing with it for just as long. For a variety of reasons that don't matter, I have kickstarted something here at least three times so far, and scrapped it all. I may elaborate on the reasons why if I feel particularly apathetic and need something to spur me on to greatness, for what better motivator is there than venting frustrrations.
Yet I continue to pay, year after year. Just as I pay, month after month, for editing software I never use. I have attempted to weaponize the sunk-cost in order to force me to do something. Yet inertia and de-motivation is a powerful foe that requires many methods to defeat.
For the past decade, I have attempted to use this as an outlet of creativity, and outlet that has not served its purpose. I imagine this will continue to be the case, but allow me to go a bit wild and try once again to make something of myself.
This is a place for me to explore things that I find interesting, in the medium I am best suited to do so in: the written word. Perhaps, if I'm particularly inspired, I shall share juvenile, amateurish drawings. Not that I'd count on that.
I can only hope I actually keep with it this time, and don't let the things I actually want to do with my life languish in the realm of hopes and dreams. I want to bring them out, even if I'm the only one to actually experience them.
As two great mean have said: If a think's worth doing, it's worth doing badly. And I have that second thing on lock.
