10, 10? 10. 10! Everything! Everything!
I always kind of like rainy nights. For that matter, I think I like thundery nights too, though I don't think this one will be. (Thundery is a word now.)
I have this issue, lately, that I have the time (some nights, perhaps once a week), in which I could sit down and do something creative and cool. Writing or programming, as per my available skill set. The problem with writing is that I haven't been able to really put down anything even vaguely interesting for a while, so I've kind of stopped trying. The problem with programming is that I end up spending so much time trying to get a platform together, that I don't actually get around to the fun part (code).
I'd be happy with both.
I've discovered over the years that knowing that someone will be reading/using/enjoying (hopefully)/evaluating something that I create is a crazy motivator for me. I don't really work on anything unless I feel like I'm going to be able to show it off. What I really need is to be able to harness that feeling more often - I just haven't quite figured out how. I think I need a forum to do so.
Motivation is why I want to make a website where friends (and myself as well, obviously) can show off their creative stuff. I think it'd be cool to have a group portfolio. Making the site itself is like half the effort. I'm slowing working on it, trying to enlist help.
I'll take a break from cuts, though it was a good time.
I want work, play, and personal project. I have work and play. I, and many people I know, lack personal project.
HMM.
I also lack new LJ icons. Now taking suggestions!
