Little Bit of Thanks. Little Bit of Ramble

I'm really surprised and touched by all the people who read my last post and commented/ told me that they read it. Although I don't really know how to reply to the latter... So, if I don't reply don't take offense.

On another note. I just finished some pretty good sushi. If you want to make me happy, sushi's a way to do it.

On to the main thought of the day:

I have an idea for a story that might be slightly controversial. I want to illustrate it, but I'm afraid of what others will think. Heck. I'm afraid to even say that I have an idea that is controversial. Even though I don't care about what strangers think, I'm terrified of letting down my friends, but I guess that those that aren't willing to accept my ideas and thoughts aren't really going to support me in anything, anyway.

You know what? I really admire controversial artists. I may not agree with what they are saying, but at least they're willing to say it. They don't worry about what everyone else is going to say.

It's not like I'm trying to say anything that important even. I just want to write a story that doesn't exactly end in the most ideal way possible. I've always been a fan of stories that end with the death of the protagonist (no takesy-backsies like in Harry Potter). And, well, my story is sort of like that. It doesn't end with the most ideal situation for the protagonist. And people don't respond well to that. I'm talking about the lovable type of protagonist that you can't help but root for. I guess I prefer stories that are closer to real life rather than those that present an escape from reality. And people deal with their hearts ripped out of their chests pretty frequently. Life isn't a chick-flick.

I'm going to illustrate it anyway. Whether I let others read it or not is for me to decide later, I guess.
