Zine completion – Day 25
March 4th, 2010
Apparently I’m still stuck in 2009. That error is now fixed.
I’m glad to have finished my zine. Now I’m just waiting to print it off with Rich whenever he’s ready for me. I can’t wait to give it out to people. It’s like leaving little pieces of me, little stories of my life, all over the place for people to think about and enjoy. It’s an amazing feeling.
A not-so-amazing feeling is one I get when I’m starting a new project. I have one on the horizon and my stomach is twisting little tiny knots. I don’t know why. I always dread starting something knew. Maybe it’s all the unknown factors that go into starting a new piece of work. It’s like looking into a void: very scary. Who knows what sorts of things will come out.
I attempted to wrap up my short story, “Will,” this afternoon, but fought with it like some unruly, disobedient child instead. I feel like I wasted nearly two hours. Two hours for eight hundred words. That’s pitiful. Sorry Zach.
Tying up loose ends is not my forte. I feel like I have written myself into a very dark corner filled with dust and cobwebs and I have to sneeze. I play too much with implication.
I am looking forward to reading your zine. When can I get a copy????
I liked the way the camera was dancing at the end of the video LOL
Very nice. One of the strangest parts of being creative is not know where your ideas come from, or where they might go, So I completely am with you on that weird twisty feeling you get in your stomach when starting a new project. I find it extremely hard to please myself when working on own projects, but thats because we’re our own worst critic ;-) Love the daily vids, keepin us locked!
Well, I appreciate the effort. ;-) Hell, I’ll take the work without the fifth chapter! I’ll read the first four and let you know what I think. You’re being too hard on yourself.
Congrats on the zine! It looks really good. Please send me a copy as soon as you can! Do you need me to send you some postage? If you want to send me some spares so I can pass them out around here, or leave them in some coffee shops, include some extras and I will.
Let me know when you are working on issue two and if you are taking submissions.
