it’s not like i’m not writing at the moment just that it’s taken a back seat to other things. i was back at it this last couple of days and finding it really quite soothing tho at the same reminding myself that it’s not entirely without a deadline component.
that deadline component is much more prevalent with what the writing has taken a back seat to. i’ve got a painting thing i have to get finished by the middle of next month. sure i thought, that’ll be no problem and it wasn’t, at least until i decided i’d be using a bigger canvas than normal. it’s not so much that i’m having to use a different technique, tho i kind of am. more that there’s just more….
but that’s more or less going swimmingly. the next deadline is for an installation piece at the beginning of february. i’ll not say much about that beyond that it involves leaves and glueing them to metal which is why i’m just after arriving back home after yet another frustrating swear fest at the studio. if anyone knows a decent way to get leaves to bond to metal i’d love to hear it. currently all my glue options are failing, i’m unconvinced my primer is forming a decent key and i’ve also discovered that the frustration with 3m spraymount continues as i discover that while it may be utterly useless for sticking things it does dissolve car paint!
and did i get the paypal thing sorted for distances? no i did not. beginning of the week, honest….
the moral of the story being that it’s not good to take on too many things, esp at the time of year when your day job is most likely to be at its most busy
