I found an old oak side table and have sanded and painted it, and am currently working on a 1950s kitchen cupboard. Even though it is not a real creative ffort I still feel a new lifeforce while doing this kind of work.

They have sent me artworks that I will use as inspiration to write and create videos from. My main theme is Marie Antoinette/with a mythic spin. Just posted the first image from Lucy Stephens to my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/InByTheEye - I'm really excited to sort be diving off the deep end, not really knowing what I'm getting from the artists and seeing what it inspires in me. My goal is to have three videos done by the end of the month. This kind of work certainly keeps me on my toes while working on larger films too! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215903909566320990.post-26412293653973805002013-03-05T04:47:33.735-05:002013-03-05T04:47:33.735-05:00I wrote as I always do.

This no boast (as my meagre list of publishing credits will testify!) but a statement of fact.<br /><br />I do know how you feel, however and it is only by the rigid application of iron-clad discipline that I manage to write come what may. <br /><br />However, if you haven't read it already, you may find Terri Windling's post this morning of no small inspirational value:<br /><br />http://windling.typepad.com/blog/2013/03/on-writing.html<br /><br />Bright blessings,<br /><br />A.Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08789849765972235409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215903909566320990.post-9534256653757427982013-03-05T04:23:04.262-05:002013-03-05T04:23:04.262-05:00Grace I completely relate with you in this post - ...Grace I completely relate with you in this post - I sometimes feel very unmotivated to create - but when I do I always find myself invigorated. Also I often feel the "mildly mopey" feeling - (my family calls it "feeling mooey") - and as well as creating I find it helps to have some chocolate and to snuggle up with a lovely book (and a purry cat). :)<br /><br />I like your artwork! :D<br /><br />So - what have I created so far in Mythic March? Well I've been doing quite a bit of sketching - drawing "The Fool" from Robin Hobb's book as well as some fairytale sketches. Even when I was in my lecture today I was sketching and doodling (I feel no shame as the lecturer was talking about things I already know... :P )<br /><br />I've also done a blogpost on Autumn, and written some short pieces about some of my synaesthetic story-visions I get when I listen to music. When they are more developed I will perhaps write them up better and post them...<br /><br />I also have been continuing with my creating "self-artworks" - where what I wear, my clothes and my wreaths/headdresses and my hair - become a walking work of art that expresses how I see myself... <br /><br />I hope to do a lot more this month though - some watercolour paintings for a start...Laura Athenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840020148267981868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215903909566320990.post-64085987012769495532013-03-04T19:44:34.985-05:002013-03-04T19:44:34.985-05:00That's actually a very encouraging post Grace....That's actually a very encouraging post Grace. Getting started is often one of the hardest parts. Knowing there are other people struggling with similar issues, on the exact same days and times as you, can make you feel less alone and more able. (Hence one of the reasons NaNo is such a fantastic thing and Mythic March is worth getting involved with.:)<br /><br />Hm, let's see: I'm not working on anything that can be measured in the same way a novel can BUT I have a few things in motion specifically being "encouraged" (ie. gently kicked in the rear) by participating in Mythic March. :)<br /><br />My main focus is making a 'development book' for a film I want to see get made, with the idea that it will be useful when I pitch it to the right people. It will be very visual as well as having written material. So far I'm close to having the actual book prepped - the cover collage is mostly done and the interior pages are halfway prepped for writing, art and collage. <br /><br />I figure the weekends will (continue to) be my least productive times due to little feet and family but that's OK, as long as I don't stop altogether. :)<br /><br />Good luck everyone and keep at it - every word written and every line drawn is something that exists now that didn't before, because you made it so. :)Gypsy Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376146830985305127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215903909566320990.post-37399622883364441792013-03-04T16:33:50.583-05:002013-03-04T16:33:50.583-05:00Well, I've actually been writing -- admittedly...Well, I've actually been writing -- admittedly not as much as I had hoped, since "real life" keeps interrupting me -- but I have finished about 6,000 words of a fantasy tale.
