Play some tunes. That helped me when I wrote a short-story in my high school English IV class. Wrote the rough draft first [9 pages total] I felt like I was writing a screenplay or a script the first hour. My instructor flashed mine to the entire class and they were like "WTF?!" and "Damn!". Then I wrote the final draft while running iTunes, boy did I change a lot of things in that story; five revisions!

I have it posted here somewhere as a PDF [as well as the drafts]

w0rd. I got some food in my stomach and put on some music...and started feeling better.

I think I sometimes lack energy too, which demotivates me.

What art supplies did you buy? May as well brag about the swag to squeeze out a little more entertainment out of that money =^.~=

I recommend doing a little sketching most days, so that when you have art block you can either flip back through your sketchbook for inspiration or wait out the block by using a previous sketch as a basis for more finished art.

Just some sketchpads and drawing pencils....and a kneadable eraser.

Ya know Cass just picked up those very things recently too.

Do you plan on venturing outdoors with them?
