Creative Rut

Uh... Hi.

I have a problem.

I don't know what to write.

Or do.

For ANYTHING. Not for this blog, not for drawing, not for writing.

I'm in a rut.

Normally I get out of these ruts by playing video games, but that hasn't worked these past two weeks. I took a walk in an awesome rainstorm and that helped a little, but not very much.

I think it's because I'm not in Orlando. I'm not comfortable. I don't have anyone here that I can talk with that will encourage creativity. Actually, I don't have anyone that will actually listen, so that's annoying. I could just come up with ideas on my own, but they really come to life when I have someone to tell them to, first.

For example, I have this idea of doing a bunch of drawings of people in the rain. And just typing that out makes me want to start drawing. I get these visions in my head. They already look like my style, too. They look like something that's just waiting to be drawn. I can see the faces, the water, the hair. It's beautiful. But if I don't have anyone to discuss the plan with, I get a little... unmotivated. It's weird. Just like I'd rather finish my homework with someone next to me rather than all by myself.

Anyway. Yeah. I have few ideas right now. It's frustrating. It doesn't help that I also have very little motivation.

I want to start writing and illustrating my own stories. I'm not talking about comic style, but that earlier post with the picture and the writing? Yeah. That's what I want to do. Maybe longer than just a page each, though...

I don't have any ideas for stories, though. Not new ones, at least. I suppose I could just work on old ones, huh. I might just do that until I come up with something new.

And now I've got a start. Cool.
