I'm on vacation now (yay); my second and final week, spending a few days in Santiago, visiting my sister.
It's been good, but...stuff somehow feels heavier on my mind now than before and I just can't get any sleep. I spent last night feeling all angsty and rose in the morning, feeling like absolute shit.
Things are--I dunno. I go to sleep and my brain is like, 'Nu-uh, missy! First let's do a rundown of all your problems and issues!' and then everything's all black again.
I'd wish someone would just stop time so I could get off, like stopping a ride at a fair. That'd be awesome.
As for now, the only thing I have going for me (or rather, the only thing I'm mildly enthused about) is my webcomic. It's not the super big magna opus I've been writing for years; it's much simpler, like a cute comic strip. I took some dialogues I've had or imagined and rendered them as conversations between two offbeat friends; one of them, a guy, he works in a bar. The other, is a lolita XD This was inspired by my recent visits to a bar which belongs to a dear friend of mine. However, the character himself is modeled after another friend; the girl speaks for me, I suppose, but my more clever alter-ego, lol
I didn't really know what to name it and what the main feature would be, but I got hit by sudden inspiration while I was at Starbucks. I knew I wanted to write about things that happened to me, so I took these two characters and -yet again based on an actual conversation- I named it Coffee & Tea. There'll be one strip explaining this, and the rest will just be slice of life happenings with these opposite friends, all of them at the bar.
I wonder if I could get sued for writing about actual stuff that really happened, specially if it did to other people...
I better get some presents for those involved, to 'grease the wheels'.
Anyhoo, I'm quite excited about this! I already wrote several strips (several from actual conversations, re-qritten into strip form, and the others are clever imaginary conversations I posted on my Facebook wall); I also did a first approach at the characters' design. I'm quite happy about those already!
Cheers to the only good thing happening in my life atm; all the rest is lacking...
