Loved the images that went along with the words, though the words were also splendid (as usual).

I would call myself a hybrid writer, analog artist. I write out my first drafts longhand, then transcribe them into Word so I can manipulate the text more easily. The art - I get into the process more fully by cutting out the images, moving them around, then gluing them down; or holding onto the pencil, laying the color down on the paper, then using an eraser to smoothe out the line. I'll keep it up until my hands, slowly stiffened by arthritis, declare, "Enough!" Because, you know...

If I'm at my desk for too many consecutive days, my writing shifts, and I'm in need of the couch. Then the couch becomes to uncomfortable because the lack of back support. So I attempt to tend to the writing earlier in the day. Night time work almost never comes out like day time work, and all work styles never seem to stay consistent. If my fingers aren't on the keyboard, the same as yesterdays writing, it affects the entire session. I post anyways, because the shit should be documented. Fuckin mess really, but hey. Bring that along also. If my feet don't nestle properly as I type I have to take repeated breaks to attempt to reframe the track I was on. I can't seem to figure my writing style out. Although I enjoy the fluidity of it all, no style is my style, BONSAI !!!!
