Since the summer of 2011, writing has played a massive part of my development in art and recovery. A lot has transpired in the previous 3 years for me. I mean sure it's been rough, but it has also been exhilarating for me to find myself situated outside the safety zone. I mean, when it was over, I found myself writing as an intense form of escapism. I really didn't want to return to this constant stability I was previously acquainted with.
So... when I did have to finally move back home, I did nothing but sleep the days away. Life was becoming stagnant again, and I began to notice that if I didn't plan on pulling my head out the ground sooner or later, I'd find myself submerged within lucid dreams and false realities to the point I'd find myself overruled by them. So from there I've found myself stimulated to develop further in both writing and art, effectively venting my frustration and boredom.
I mean, I have literally hundreds of drafts plaguing my desktop- though fortunately I have came to my senses recently and have started to direct them towards individual projects instead of leaving them to accumulate into a textual mass of drabble. But I do in fact have a few short stories I wish to go over, tidy up etc and publish into the public eye (I had planned to post some work up on fictionpress but ahhh no, not yet, not enough confidence; I have a long way to go and y'know.)
However with the ones that I find quite amusing, I've imagined that at some point I'll find myself illustrating them into short comics instead for fun, and hopefully make a little bit of earning by selling them off. However, I haven't been given the opportunity to really work on many of my own personal projects, and some of my larger scale works have been put aside. College honestly has taken up so much of my time of late that it's damning, but I would love to get a few shorts ones done and dusted by summer next year and see what I can do with some of my projects in work at the end my BA course.
