Don't be anal about it." Sometimes they're short, and sometimes they're long.<br /><br />And sometimes they threaten to go out with a whimper, so you have to have somebody plant some C4 so THE WORLD BLOWS UP. Because explosions are fun. I've watched too many action movies.Kessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019626781634777336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674022849066491351.post-78467240949539180532010-08-06T13:04:18.968-07:002010-08-06T13:04:18.968-07:00@Meg: "Once there was a knitter named Meg.

I ha...Those first couple of pictures cracked me up. I had to crane my head on the first one before I realized what he was standing next to was a book.<br /><br />I agree, over time I've had to come to accept that a story will end when it ends, regardless of what you've planned for it. Sometimes you even begin a story without really intending to. There's just something about a good moleskin notebook that makes you want to fill it full of interesting things. <br /><br />This concept could really apply to any artform. An old art teacher I had used to disapprove of how little time I spent on some pictures. Though I envy artists who can spend hours on a single drawing (and writers who to my mind put a lot more thought, effort, and patience into their stories) it's almost physically uncomfortable to continue any artistic process if it's finished, even if it's finished earlier or later than I would like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
