Spleck: Creyonah #44


I could scream.

I lost words to the delete beast.

Ugh.

Well, if I was truly ready to scream I would be thinking in harsher terms than ugh.

 I won't be writing 3000+ words today, though that was only a thing so that I could have a fighting chance at writing more than 10,000 words this week.

 I don't do vacation. I'm just away from home. Because I write and draw each day, no matter what's going on.

 How do you think I wrote a million words this year?

 I wrote each and every single day.

 The same as the drawing, though one was more of an accomplishment than the other,

 And yes, writing a million words is an accomplishment.

 In fact, it's an accomplishment that few writers could achieve. Especially when I've written well over 900,000 words since April.

 I am not going to write 3000+ words today and at the rate at which I am currently writing I won't even write a thousand, which is a move that  I shouldn't succumb to a day after writing 3000+ yesterday.

 Hmm.

 As of this latest count of mine, which came in at about 23:27, I am five kinds of screwed as  not only I cannot find the milk, I know exactly where it's supposed to be, but it isn't there.

 Well.

 I really fell short of 1250 words today.

Good morning humans. I hate the gravity of your world because it is hard on my back and my back has had enough of it and as a result, I woke up with a pain that that I cannot stand, so I am writing to you from the comfort of my bed. Though being true, because of the pain, there is no comfort but the comfort of escaping awareness through sleep. Hopefully I will find my way to sleep tonight because right now, it feels as though I will not. And you would be sure to read about it here if that was the case if not for one thing, I'm going to be stepping away from the blogging for the coming weeks. At the very least. It could be longer, but it will certainly be for at least three weeks. I know that I won't be missed too much as my small number of readers can attest to. What's going to happen with this blog? Drawings will be posted most days, but I have been in talks with a couple of writers, one alien and one human. Let me know in the comments which writer you...

It is painfully clear to me that I have been away from the words for far too long as I got caught up in the memoriams of humans that have made the pictures that they so love. I don't get their appreciation of these stories, because I find them too long and they often like to make followups. And to that idea I shake my head. Maybe it's odd that I think this as a writer, but it is how I feel. I don't even remember what I was going to write. Was I going to slam Dalton for calling me a quitter if I withdrew from the collective? He certainly deserves it, not that I hate him, but he was certainly an ass when he was dissing me for wanting the collective to succeed. But that was more than a half hour ago and that was too long for me to hold onto the thought that I had then. So I begin again.  Thoad stared in the sky, his mouth agape as the speed trail left behind by Merithee, remained vivid when she'd passed by more than five mi...

Wow, how is it so much brighter here than it was when I took the photo, with the lights or flash? Ugh. The science of nature am I right? I like this drawing a lot. Well, I'm not crazy about the pencil's beak, but apart from that, he's a good pencil and I will continue to draw them. Ideally with more colour choices  than the four that I currently have. But for now, however long now lasts, four will have to do. Spleck II will graduate past the black paper so that I have more choices. As for the little guy with his very own flag, he's a Pobadyd and all good Pobadyds have their own flags. Luckily for Poeth, there are many ways for a Pobaddyd to earn themselves a flag becuase there's really only one thing that Poeth is good at, since he's so small and easily beaten in all the physical ways that a Pobadyd can earn their flag. He's a brilliant public speaker and he saved a Pobadyd village with the finest oration...
