Woken at 4am by an annoyingly howling cat, blearily put him out the door.
Eggs, orange, walnuts and almonds.
Figuring out drawing problems.
Headache oppressing my brain into a fuzzy mess.
Fighting the shakes while sketching a page design.
Bad arguments, partly from stress.
Upset for a bit, I can feel my brow is furrowed, scowling.
Endearingly asked to drink my coffee.
I’m sorry.
Wendy helping me solve more drawing and script problems, somewhat satisfied now with the result, good objectiveness.
Flipping through Further Adventures Of Indiana Jones Omnibus, fun.
Rushing to get ready.
Can’t decide what shirt looks best with my shorts, I fret about this too much.
Off to meet the Triggs for dinner, some of our all time favorite people.
Christina can’t make it, she’s a nurse dealing with a crazy person.
Awesome conversation with Josh while enraptured by Tandoori chicken and nann.
Deliberations on dessert choices for 10 minutes, I’m terrible at simple decisions and will avoid.
Mmmm… chocolate muffin!
Josh and I oohing and awing about the Daredevil IDW Artist Edition, and Doug Wildey’s Rio.
Christina finally arrives with an insane story about delusional administrators and cops.
Ruminations on work concerns, and needing to set a time to co-write on a screenplay.
3:30am and writing this blog, so technically the first one of the month is late.

Thats It!

Sorry to crowd your blog with comments today but I couldn’t leave this one alone. I’m wondering what your ‘focus mode’ is like and, more directly: How does your Lady make peace with it? If we’re anything alike, being interrupted while drawing or planning (or generally trying to get things done) is like having a wrench thrown into heart-surgery. I get really pokey and harsh in ‘focus mode’. Apologies usually pave over the wreckage but it’s bothersome that emotional spackle is needed so often.
In short: How do you guys manage the moodswings that run with creativity?

Yes, pokey and harsh is close to it. Maybe more pokey and short, and somewhat dour is more like it for me. Wendy is very understanding of how moody I can be when working, but sometimes I know I can be hard to take. Some days are definitely easier than others, but ultimately she is wondrous in her patience with my whacked out conundrums. She is a godsend.
