Since I'm currently in the process of getting ready to move (eep!), a lot of my art supplies are in boxes so I'm having to improvise w what I left out for the very purpose of continuing to make art & honestly? It's not too bad! & it's fun!

Now I do think that artists should be able to make a living creating but that requires a fundamental rewiring of what our society deems worthy of support & recognition, which is such a sad concept
The pandemic proved how valuable the arts were

I think a big part of it is that I stopped looking at art as something profitable. Iโm doing it for pleasure and self-enrichment
It MAY also have to do with the fact that Iโm not a capitalist now too ๐

Talent has actually made me quit certain things bc I wasnโt immediately an expert at it & same: I had no idea how to practice instead of just Create Masterpiece & have spent the last five years fixing that
Still a perfectionist but I have gotten better

I officially started using Scrivener again & now that I like KNOW how to use the damn thing, I'm really appreciating it. It's still going to take some time to get used to, seeing as I've been using Proton Drive for a while, but things are looking up for Paradiso

Oooh okay, so one POV char is fed intentionally incorrect information that ultimately results in him attempting to arrest his lover; he feels betrayed & confused & would be successful in apprehending his lover if she doesn't shoot out the tires in his car. Such a raw scene!

Paradiso is a collection of interconnected novellas with each story at least loosely connected to an [REDACTED] at a seemingly innocuous building, leading to a [REDACTED], a reunion of [REDACTED], the beginning of a [REDACTED], & trip to the underbelly of a [REDACTED].

It's so hard to discuss anything because the main story is one giant mass of interconnected mysteries, with each POV character having portions of it, so I usually try to focus on the themes instead of plot whenever I talk about it

Honestly kind of underwhelmed by #BestInShow ... it wasn't terrible & I laughed (mostly at Fred Willard) but I was expecting a bit more maybe? Granted, I have also *gasp* never seen a lot of Guest's work, including This Is Spinal Tap, so maybe I'm missing some things

Alright, I'm going to stop my perpetual marathon of MST3K/RiffTrax and watch a movie I've never seen before. I don't think I want anything too drama-y, so maybe a comedy or action flick? #FilmSky #whattowatch
