Feedback on the script

Last week I wrote about the feedback that I was going to receive this week. This tuesday we met and my friends told me everything that I needed to work on... Well, to tell you the truth the list wasn't that long, but there are some stuff that I need to work on.

My writing on my next script has been progressive and today I'm going to devout myself to my third script... third script you ask? Can't you count? Well, when I was drawing Pilgrim, I finished another script, that is script no. one, the script that I sent to my mates is script no. two, and the one that I will write on today is no. three!

But why do you write three scripts, isn't it better to concentrate on one thing at a time!!!!
I'm glad, you asked! During the drawing on Pilgrim, I constantly got these ideas for my upcoming projects. Which is always fun, but also takes time from the current project. To get these ideas out of my system I decided to devout myself to my writing these months. So far it's been very productive, and it feels great to already have received notes on one of the scripts.

Take care!

Next project!

Last week I sent my latest script to two friends that are going to read it, and give feedback on it. This is crucial to get the best script out of me. I tend to be quite blind after a while when it concerns my own writing. When I let others read the script it's easier to pinpoint things that can be better. Hopefully we will meet next week to discuss this pearl of literature!

In the meantime I've begun writing my next script, yeah, the light of diligence burns brightly! So far the writing has been smoothly.

Take care!

My identity as a hipster or hipster qualities that I possess.

This week when I and some friends of mine attended a "bandy" match (this gentleman sport), they told me that I have certain hipster qualities... this came as a total surprise to me, really it did!

My hipster qualities are:
My fabrication of alcoholic beverages, my micro brewery so to speak.
My cycling, I'm a year round cyclist, I only let my bike be if the roads are covered with wet ice...
My beard/moustache, at the time I had quite the moustache, which I've trimmed down now, unfortunately...
My interests and pursuits in violin making.

These traits combined made me a hipster in their eyes. They explained it thusly that devotion in something narrow and niched equals hipster, kind of... with a sense of aesthetics.... I'm not sure what the science says but I'll take their word for it. But there's more! It's best if the hipster doesn't know that what (s)he does is hipsterisch, because if you know that you're a hipster, then you're not.

So, now that I know that I have these qualities, that disqualifies... me from... being a hipster... Thanks guys... bastards! ;-)

Ah, well, my hipster days were short and sweet.

Take care!

Doing creative stuff.

Last week it was all about the quote book. The books that I got is still on my coffee table, as coffee table books... They do the job nicely!

This week I've been thinking about the creativity, I have written about this before, so it's an interesting subject of mine.

Lately I've been able to schedule my creativity so that I've had roughly a day a week, when I can do the creative stuff. This is positive because I can totally devout myself to my projects, and not feel the need to rush things. A negative point is that if that day freezes in, then my projects doesn't move an inch!

Some years ago I scheduled the creativity to be about an hour a day, sometimes more. This is positive because I am always up to date with the projects, and I work on them everyday, hopefully. A negative point is that, how much can you do in an hour, it's kind of starting and stopping, and starting and stopping. But the projects moves forward everyday and that is great!

So what is to prefer?
I really like to know that I can have a whole day at my disposal because I can then take my time, and not rush things. But as stated above, if that planned day freezes in, the projects don't move an inch.

But I also like to have every day contact with the projects, because I can then have them in my mind in another way, and stay current.

Maybe a combination is to prefer. If it is possible devout yourself for a day a week, but also keep tabs on the projects during the other days as well. Take notes for ideas and so forth.

Maybe this isn't the last post about creativity...!

Take care!
