Tonight, I have gained both inspiration and motivation from a party at my brother's house. Or more specifically, the people in it.
Dave and Alex -the track car owning duo- told me about how if I get a job and work my ass off I will be able to afford my Silvia no problem. Whereas I had a long conversation with Sarah about art, writing, and what we could and should be doing with them. While I have been trying to get a job for quite a while, today has given me a bit more motivation to look for something actually halfway decent. But more importantly I haven't written anything for a long time, I think tonight has given me enough inspiration to create something new, and maybe even put a little more effort into my blog to save it from the inane smattering of opinions and events it has endured up to this point.
In the future I would quite like an occupation in journalism or fictional writing, but as I have almost never seriously composed a review or article on anything regarding anime, manga or games I cannot possibly hope to improve, as practice is everything, with the same applying to the sparse completion of any of my short stories. So thus forth I fully intend to provide a significant degree more insight and profundity in my mention of that which occupies my time, and in contrast I shall criticize my own literature with far less severity, because if I keep comparing my own work to those of professional authors I will never finish anything, and therefore never gain any experience, practice or third party criticism. So far perfectionism has been naught but a hindrance, and has completely demotivated me.
Sarah also told me about lulu.com, a very interesting website providing self publication. I might make it my aim to write enough short stories to create my own compilation, if only I could get over this crippling self doubt long enough to ever consider that a remotely achievable goal.
