So, the creative urge has hit me recently, and I'm really starting to feel the desire to begin working on a story that I've been thinking about for a long time. I've got almost the entire story built up in my head, but as often happens, I have trouble with thinking about the component parts that make up the story. Just to warn you all, if you begin reading it, it will definitely be a little sappy, and it is a love story, but a very different kind of love story from what you might expect...maybe.

*grins evilly*

I'm not sure how it's going to be written yet, but I do know that there will be a lot of mystery involved. Also, due to a new friend's kindness, I'm now receiving private lessons on how to draw. It's rather amazing, to think that I might finally be able to take all these beautiful images in my head and put them down on paper. I've never thought I was the artistic type. I mean, writing, yes, but actual pictures?

I didn't think it was possible, but after my first lesson a few days ago, I'm actually starting to think that I might be able to do this. It's...really interesting, to begin really thinking about the image I want to convey, and figuring out how to make it happen. Mind you, I'm not anything fabulous yet - we're just doing basic shapes and the core components of characters right now. But...I'm hoping that artwork will really become an outlet for me.

Mainly because of the fact that story writing is a bitch. I like the fact that with artwork, generally speaking, the time to completion/satisfaction is a lot shorter than it is for writing. Yes, I know, that's very instant gratification of me, but hey...maybe I'll be good at this artwork stuff. who knows. I won't know until I try, and practice, and practice, and practice. I'm actually looking forward to it.
