Yes I’m still here
An acquaintance recently wrote to tell me that I suck at updating my blog. I agree with him—but I have an excuse: I have a very short attention span.
Okay, so I didn’t say it would be a good excuse, but there you have it.
Ideas always pop into my head at the most inopportune times. It usually happens when I’m stuck, or have writer’s block. I use to make myself focus. I would write the idea down, file it somewhere, and then try to forget about it. A little voice in the back of my mind would always tell me that I’d never finish anything. Regardless, I could never re-focus, and would end up wasting a lot of time anyway.
Recently, I figured that trying to focus on my current task was a stupid strategy. It’s hard enough trying to build motivation to do something, and here I was trying to suppress it.
These days, if I get excited about something, I work on it. As for the project I was working on, I just have faith that I’ll get back to it. If I don’t, then maybe it wasn’t that important.
This blog is one of those projects. I don’t want to stop writing it, but then again I don’t want to feel I have to write it. That takes all the fun out of it. This time, the release of the iPhone SDK has me busy. But don’t worry, I’m still around.
I do have another image in the works. My dad recently bought a Seattle Mariners collectable train set. The image is about half-done, but when I finish it, I’m sure I’ll have something interesting to post. In the mean time, here’s the partially finished image to whet your appetite.
