I'm going to bed

Brain: What if these two characters met each other. They sure would have a lot to talk about.
Me: Brain no.
Brain: It wouldn't even be that many panels.
Me: Brain I need to sleep.
Brain: Imagine all those gorgeous clothes to draw. It could be mostly close-ups.
Me: …It would be fun…
Brain: Just write down the dialogue.
Me: I'll just sketch the layout. God, I haven't even touched my stylus in months.
Brain: And start off with an establishing crowd shot.
Me: No! Fuck! What? No crowd shots! I haven't even touched my stylus in months!
Brain: It reeeeeally makes a lot more sense if you actually have two crowd shots.
Me: You said it was gonna all be close-ups!
Brain: Also I'm gonna need you to spend three days looking up architecture & clothing of the 1500s.
Me: No!
Brain: And combing through six separate books for details of clothing and hairstyles.
Me: I hate you!
Brain: I should note that exactly three people other than you will be interested in this comic. And they won't actually like it, because your dialogue isn't that good.
Me: Fuck you!
Brain: Draw it or I'll torture you for months.
Me: Fuck!

Well now I'm curious about what it is!

Well if I don't die of sleep deprivation, I will post it someday!

This...is basically the story of how that long The Likeness story about Justin came to be.

(For what it's worth, I don't regret writing it one bit, even though nobody read it. *g*)

ARGH BRAINS.

I am kinda envious of your creative inspiration, though.

[metaphortunate]

I have had creative inspiration backing up for more than four years with very, very little chance to do anything about it. I could do both fan and original works for months full time and not run out of ideas that I have already had. It's torture.

I would prefer that torture to my current state, which is a dry well for over two years.
