I've been trying really hard to be super productive today. Not only did I go to work, but I was a good girl and did some writing and drawing. I feel kind of frustrated with my art at the moment because I can't seem to draw bodies with the tablet. I've gotten okay with faces, but apparently bodies are just too hard. Bleh. I'm forcing myself to practice and follow through even if I don't complete a full body drawing, even getting some torsos done would help!
I've gotten a very basic outline for one of my stories done. It needs a LOT more work though, sheesh. I'm missing about half of the characters and what they're doing. Ah well, progress. I also decided to go ahead and start writing it because I really need writing practice in general. My style of writing is horrendous. I'm either really boring and blunt and short or I'm way too flowery and ridiculous. More practice.
I've been reading The Story Edgar Sawtelle and overall enjoying it. It's already fairly sad and according to people who've read the whole book the ending is downright depressing. Bleh, I don't look forward to that :/. It's too bad really, the book is all about dog breeding and training and I looooove that kind of stuff. I have a weird secret aspiration of being a dog breeder, however, not only is that way too much work, I'd also feel guilty adding more dogs into the world (even though I'm not against good breeders.) But anyway. I'm chugging along in it and I hope I can get at least halfway done tomorrow since it's yet another 900 page book. I'm sticking to short books after this, for realz.
