Definitely not doing well with this…

Here I was thinking I was going to do spectacularly her and yet, look at me doing all not well it. Just look at me go.

In spite of my lack of posting, I have been working and am slowly, but surely, getting work done. You’d know this if I’d actually followed through on those individual project notes, but I haven’t, so there’s that. Still, one of my goals this month is to update this blog 3 days a week and get into the habit of keeping it current. With Lent coming to an end in less than a week, I’m still not totally certain that I’d like to go to social media, but I do at least want to keep this place as current as I can. It seems like something I should do.

If I’m being honest, in my mind, it’s a responsibility to keep some sort of a record of my work. While I had a number of notions about it when I was younger, these days, I’m not entirely sure why I spend my time creating. I find it fun, sure, but I feel that there must be something deeper to it. I used to believe that I would make gobs of money from it and become world famous—all of that good ole dreamer shit. These days I don’t much think about earning money from it though the idea of being famous never quite went away. I’ll still take the time to give a speech or two to the bathroom when the mood strikes, but in general, the hopes that once fueled me are gone. All that exists is the joy, but when the depression hits, I need something more than that. I need a reason to live.

Lately I’ve been trying to tell myself that that reason I create exists even if I can’t immediately see it. It’s the closest I’ve come to putting my faith in something larger than myself in quite some time. I concede that it’s more of a delusion than anything else, but it is what it is.

That got depressing. Let’s have some happier shit.

I’m back to getting some writing done and am hoping to have the initial rough copy of the next short story collection here in the next couple of months. From there, I’d like to complete a first run of edits before letting it rest for a bit. I’m feeling ambitious and hoping to have it published by early next year.

I’ve completed the roughest of layouts for my porn comic and have been working on the next round of layouts . My goal is to have those done by the end of the month. From there I’ll let it rest for 6 weeks before starting in on the actual artwork for the book. I’ve made some progress on some other works as well and finally uploaded some new photos. Full set is over in Corporeal Tethers.

Thanks for stopping by and having a read a look. Until next time!
