2022 dec 29 // I liked the idea of this year long commitment to keep a planner/diary, just undemanding paper play, collageing the weekly pages and having fun.

Thankfully my planner of 2022 didn’t die the book death, and ended up on a bookshelf collecting dust (as the book of 2021 did after about 6 months) even though I haven’t had much time for paper play since october. But I did continue entering my daily notes, and so this planner WILL be completed by the end of this year (just not as decoratively as I had hoped.)

So I will try again, with a new book of 2023. Considering that both Summer and Autumn comes with less time for paper play, I decided to start with an empty book. Instead of having pages to fill every week, I will enter pages to the book whenever I have time.

Well… the book is actually a binder, in A5 landscape format.

I don’t want to be concerned about a limited space for pages in a book so I chose this binder with its lever arch mechanism that can hold up to almost 700 pages! In this binder I will collect my diary notes (most likely printed from my phone), ideas, paper crafts and collages, commonplace book, and memorabilia.

Finishing up the yearly studio clean up and have been spending some time organizing photos from the last year. It’s fun to look back on all the work I completed in 2023. A lot of mistakes but also a lot of good creative work as well. I was taking note of the works that stood out to me as I scrolled through my photos and realized most of the pieces I really liked were all custom orders. Creating something based on someone else’s color preferences is a nice way to shake things up creatively. Even though I try to be broad with my color-ways and patterns, I do tend to work in palettes I personally gravitate to. Something I’ve been thinking about for this year is trying to push myself to think outside my norms in terms of color combinations. I’d love to maybe try reworking some older designs in a new color. It’s hard to think outside of your own personal preferences!

The truth behind stories, heroines journey, and the war of art: a 1-month plan to pursuing the Artists Journey

Fairy tales are more than true: not because they ” tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell usthat dragons can be beaten. — Neil Gaiman, Coraline In the vast landscape of storytelling, there exists a journey that has captured the imagination of humanity for centuries — the Hero’s Journey. It’s a timeless narrative structure, beautifully explored by Joseph Campbell, that takes our…

Canine Creative Time

How often do you walk or run? Dogs are great for your health, and they are always up for a walk, and they always need regular walks just like us humans. I’ve had a dog for most of my life and I had forgotten the health benefits of having one. Not only do you get an awesome companion that thinks you’re the best. You get a personal trainer that drags you out of bed early in the morning or late in…

How To (Realistically) Make A Habit Of Writing

To clarify: Works with my autism. WORKS WITH MY AUTISM!!! I’ve been meeting my goals since I made them my New Year’s resolution! Anyway I’m so sick of all those ‘how to’ guides that don’t actually tell you what the process is they’re just like ‘just do it, but don’t burn yourself out, do what’s best for you!’ because you’re not telling me what I’m not supposed to be burning myself out over but okay, so I made my own. Hope this helps

1. Choose your fighter metric. What works better for you as a measurement of your progress; time spent writing or your word count? Personally I get very motivated and encouraged by seeing my word count go up and making a note of where it should be when I’m done, so I measure by that. At the same time, a lot of people are also very discouraged by their word count and it can negatively impact their motivation to write, and in that case you may be better off working from how much time you spend writing rather than where the word count is

2. Choose your starter Pokémon time frame. How often can you write before it starts to feel like a chore or a burden rather than something fun you look forward to? Many people believe that they have to write daily, but for some people this can do more harm than good. Maybe every two or three days? Weekly? Figure out what fits your schedule and go with it

3. Choose your funny third joke goal. Now that you’ve got your chosen time frame to complete your goal in, what’s a reasonable goal to aim to complete within that time frame based on the metric you chose? If your metric is your word count, how much can you reasonably and consistently write within your chosen time frame? If your metric is time spent writing, how much time can you reasonably and consistently spend writing within that time? Maybe 1000 words per week works, or maybe 10 minutes per day? The goal here is to find something that works for you and your own schedule without burning you out

4. Trial and error. Experiment with your new target and adapt it accordingly. Most people can’t consistently write 1667 words per day like you do in NaNoWriMo, so we want to avoid that and aim somewhere more reasonable. If you feel like it’s too much to do in such a short time frame, either give yourself less to do or more time to do it in. If you find yourself begrudgingly writing so often that it constantly feels more like a chore than something fun, maybe consider adapting things. And if you think that you gave yourself too much wiggle room and you could do more than this consistently, give yourself more of a challenge. Everything needs to suit you and your pace and needs

5. Run your own race. Don’t feel like you’re not accomplishing enough in comparison to others or not working fast enough to satisfy some arbitrary feeling of doubt. Everybody works at their own pace and slower work doesn’t mean worse work. You could be on one word per day and you’ll still see consistent results, which is still one word per day more than you could originally count on. All progress is progress, regardless of its speed

i really dislike it when people don’t understand perfectionism.

like, it isn’t always “person who has tons of motivation and spends a ton of time making this thing *just* right”

wayyyyyy more often than not it’s:

”I know that if I try to make this thing, it won’t be perfect, so I simply won’t try.”

which definitely sounds bad, right? but when you realize that it doesn’t just apply to voluntarily making art, then you realize how perfectionism is not at all a good thing in any context. 

“i know that if I try to work on this assignment right now, it won’t be good enough, so i’ll wait until the last possible moment so that I have something forcing me to do it.”

”i know that I should start going to the gym, but I won’t see any improvement right away, so I just won’t.”

”i know that i should brush my teeth tonight, but that won’t be good enough to undo the fact that i haven’t brushed them 4 days in a row, so I just won’t.”

perfectionism isn’t the uncontrollable impulse to make things “just right”. (although it can occasionally manifest as this.)

perfectionism is the absolute, psychological inability to accept the concepts of “good enough” and “better than nothing”.

kon is not really a leader (though he's also not an idiot actually and i will die on this hill) but he's such a good right hand man. very loyal. mom friend. powerhouse. this is Also why timkon are so spirk coded (but this time it's flipped) and in this essay i will

#the thing about kon that everyone gets wrong is that he's not stupid. he's a dumbass but he's not stupid #he doesn't always think things through and he has a chronic habit of always believing the best in people to the point of naivety sometimes #but he's so creative and resourceful. genuinely one of the most fun things in sb94 is how many different ways he turns situations around #wait. post canceled i just thought about the end of knockout arc and im no longer having fun im just SAD #anyway um. coughs. kon and his insane loyalty. always being a pillar of steadfast support to the person he's being insanely loyal to #which is generally tim but has also been cassie in canon #what a guy. mr. right hand man #still sad about knockout arc but im ignoring it now it's fine. #rimi talks #kon #timkon

btw how's the fitzjames sweater coming along?

i'm not gonna lie to you i have not started it due to being less accomplished in knitting skills than i hoped to be by this point. but if these gloves i'm working on rn turn out alright then i think i'll feel confident enough to attempt it.
