October & Work

Hey,
There was a journal intended for September that was planned to bridge the gaps and provide at least some content for you guys so it doesn't look like I'm in as much of a procrastination hole as I actually am. That journal never happened because I was far too caught up in work to actually do anything for it, so the number of uploads kind of sunk to zero for quite a while. It's entirely my fault; there was plenty of time for me to actually sit my ass down and, not only do some writing, but some journals and commissions and all that. Perhaps it's just me and my drive to complete anything any more, even though my last commission for Thetral managed to create an actual discussion in some internet comments, a feat that's quite unheard of, I haven't had the impulsion to sit down and actually type away at some of my more prolonged commissioners who are still waiting so patiently after all this time. Previous me was at least smart about when he would decided to take money, as currently no one is owed any sort of refund or I indebted towards them. That doesn't mean they don't have some reason to be impatient after all this time.
But they may have to wait some more. As I write this it is a Sunday night and this is day three of my days off with one given extra for me to recuperate after doing 130h in two weeks, missing one entire weekend for work and generally having only one day off between the 11th and the 28th. It's lucky that my managers continue to be extraordinarily compassionate, and 'forced' me to take some time off so I don't fall asleep at the wheel. The industry I'm in requires a lot of hours for about a quarter of the year every six-or-so months, which means that from now until mid-December I probably won't be having too much of that precious free-time, a certain commodity that I ignored when I had it and now long for it when I don't. so let it be a lesson to you; my addiction is the internet and once I disconnect from it I become a productive horse/human-being. Recognise what steals you away from action and isolate it. Even so little as disconnecting your phone/laptop will help in unfathomable ways.
On an unrelated note I've become quite interested in physical modelling. Not of myself! Clay sculptures and miniature modelling that people do for stop-motion and figurines. I think it would be incredibly cool to start practising that so I can bring my characters out of my imagination (and yours) and put them into the real, physical world. I went to a hobby shop but couldn't find the exact kind of clay that was recommended so I think I'll just get it off of Amazon instead. Once I move out and into my own place from next year on I'll make a start on it, getting legs and arms and torsos down. It would be a practical art-skill to supplement my writing and audiowork to make me all the more talented. Now if only I had the pressure to make me do it.

If you'd like to see far more of me at least in an active state then please find me on twitter https://twitter.com/AspenHoss where I shitpost and post things that I find enjoyable, currently I've got clips of Medusa from the bad 2010 "Clash of the Titans" rendered into little clips that are going up when they need to. As on here, 18+ to follow. Since I now earn money as well and I'm on this side of the Atlantic, it's possible for me to start going to conventions! Vancoufur is the nearest to me and Anthrocon too, since it's the largest! Not a guarantee but I'm interested at least.
See you in November!
