ALL I NEED IS 8 PAGES! Part 2

Thursday, April 22, 11:07 am

So, I finally posted Part 1 of this series re: my efforts to do an 8-page comic story which started way back in 2020, and I'm STILL struggling to accomplish. It seems that just as difficult as it is for me to actually produce this comic story goal, it's also been an effort documenting my efforts to do so and especially, coherently.

Case in point: My first post on this blog regarding this subject was Part FOUR back in December 2020.

Whatever.

I'm still trying to do this 8-page comic story and I'm still trying to use my blog as a way to document my efforts in creating art, so, I'll keep (fitfully) trucking.

Part of my struggles is my impulsive nature and how almost recklessly or haphazardly I approach trying to do something. If instead I could finish something immediately after I start it, an impulsive approach wouldn't really matter. However, my efforts to follow through on a project or idea really SUCK.

Which is why I'm really trying to jot down my working attempts as well. Sometimes I have so many ideas, big and small, worthwhile and not so worthwhile, I forget a bunch, and sometimes completely forget because the ideas are so impulsive and of the moment.

So, writing this stuff down is actually a constructive and useful exercise for me, not really a time-wasting activity.

How that translates to being readable, entertaining content for YOU, dear reader, well, uh... I'm afraid you're on your own there...

But, more later.

I'm actually going to help on a film today. I have to drive down to Corfu, NY and I'll be a cameraman for my friend, writer/producer/director Donnamarie Vaughan's latest feature film, THE LAST DANCE. It's like a 45-minute drive and I still have a couple errands to run here before I leave.

So... more later.

Yo.

So, I'm still trying to sort shit out here re: my posts on ALL I NEED IS 8 PAGES. Due to the way I've been "organizing" and labeling my posts, but also my constantly changing ideas, I think I started a number of posts but never published them, or published them out of order..? Like, I published what I thought was Part 4 first, as I mentioned above. Now, I think I finally published the FIRST post, but I'm still editing and sorting through what I've written so far in draft form. So, I'm still a little confused and if I'M confused, then YOU, dear reader (hello, again!), are probably... well, gone elsewhere, ANYWHERE ELSE but the incoherent HERE, if you're smart.
