I'm so sorry. I've been here more times than I can count, and yeah, it really sucks. I'm not really sure what's the best way to deal with it. Try pushing through and just do stuff even when it's not working. If that gets too frustrating, try something else, or take a break entirely. I guess the main thing is to not get too upset with yourself - this happens, but eventually you get over. I know, much easier said than done, but don't kill yourself about it.

sigh, trying not to. thanks :) It's just very frustrating because it's like...I've got all these things I want/need to work on you know? so it's like grr I don't have TIME for art/writing block. Still want to draw the replies to your excellent questions you asked too...but yeah you are right. not worth stroking out over I guess :/

Oh hey, how are you faring with the weather? I hope you and your family are doing ok with that.

We saw some wind and rain but that was about it...no biggie actually. My aunt called after the storm (she had decided to ride it out too and was about zero percent worried about it) She was like " OH THANK GOD YOU SURVIVED " and I was like " I KNOW I FEARED FOR MY LIFE " :D

Now I just got a whole lotta ramen noodles and easy cheese and crackers to eat my way through

No not presumptous at all, thank you for the sympathy. I dunno there hadn't been any really stressful things going on in my life (and that has happened before with me so yeah I know that can be a major creative hinderance) I think that's why it's been so frustrating. I could understand it better if there was a reason. sighhhh. thanks friend :)

I totally understand the whole I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS SHIT thing but times like these it's best to forgive yourself and be patient. Don't be one of those people and say 'oh. i haz artistz blockz.' and not do anything to break through for a year or more. Some people however rare have a genuine thing going on in their head that's chemical or emotional and it's NOT related to their talent at all but something they have to deal with in their lives an art just has to take a holiday. (Like myself in my life two years ago ( ... )

thank jooooo @__@ and thank you so much for the suggestions. I have been employing them in all earnestness. Still struggling to break through the braincramp but I'm getting there! Totally will not let artist's block be an excuse to not continue trying :)

I'm looking at Fall/Winter as a more consistent period of creative time this year. (Remember last year was Surgery Slump and then Illness Slump). This year there is no surgery (knock on wood) and things should settle into a more consistent timeline (I hope).
I enjoyed the latest stuff you sent me re: layne/maiiah. There were a few points that need trimming (a few redundant lines and such) but it was very good and I think we should possibly consider using it as the opening of the story itself.

That makes me so happy to hear! :D I really hope so, hope things work out. also glad you liked the layne/maiiah stuff lovey.

hope you are feeling better. MUAH <3
