Drive-By Posting!

I am taking a bit of a break, and thought I would do a drive-by posting. I am still getting my life packed, so I am still not really here. This frustrates me greatly. I have found that when I want to work, other things, daily things, real life things that need to get done, totally annoy me. It isn't that I don't want my dishes to be washed or my stuff to be packed or whatever. It is the intrusion on my creative life that I resent. I would rather be writing, animating, what have you. I have a ton of ideas that need to get out now, and the longer I have to spend on the mundane neccessary part of life the less likely it is I will get to the ideas before they slip away from me. My mind can't stop working on that idea, even if I should be concentrating on whether or not I really need to have 15 shampoo bottles and whether I should keep that outfit I like but realistically probably won't fit into again for awhile so itwould be better to take to the donation bin. Instead I work on it on auto pilot, porbably packing and transporting way more crap than I need to, while I decide what I want the character arc to be in my stop mo script or sculpt a better wording for that story I am writing to submit for the Risk! podcast. Real life is an intrusion I must endure. I have started carrying around a pencil and 3x5 cards in my pocket, so when something occurs to me I can quickly jot it down, put it back in my pocket and complete the arduous task at hand. At night I have been looking over my notes. And I am realizing I need to be a little more complete with what I write. Once the idea has slipped into the ether, I may or may not be able to recapture a piece of it with "No one goes in there". Ideally I would be able to stop and just do. But that is not the way life works.

Well, in a week I will be all moved, and I will be able to go back to my old routine of looking for work in the morning, writing in the afternoon and evening. I look forward to that.
