Signs of life

This is the only draft that had a title, and how appropriate a title! "Signs of life" Man, I don't even know what it is I was going to write about for it, nor do I even know about what I'll write right now. Can you believe it's been three whole years since I started this blog? And in those three years I only had Five! Five! posts, how abysmal a number. Rest assured it wasn't for lack of anything to talk about, I certainly have much to talk about. Maybe a general laziness? A lack of desire to constantly write thoughts, and try to refine them to put across what I truly mean possibly? Maybe it felt more like a chore. The most probable answer is I completely forgot this even existed.

 I think I might turn this into a little art blog, if I can, I don't know if you can do that on Blogspot...I mean Blogger, ha ha!  even the name's changed. But my name hasn't! But I certainly have! For the better, I certainly hope.

On another note, it seems weird to me that I made absolutely NO resolutions this year. Not one! No lose weight, no gain muscle, not even learn a language or anything like that! But I feel a drive to do stuff, like draw and write and learn new things. Last year I made ONE resolution: Draw everyday. I failed that, about a month and a half in. I could blame school for that, but I'm not one to pass the buck. It was all me, laziness and all. I started to get decent too! At least, from where I was at the start. However decent you can get with one month of practice, that is. The main reason I made that resolution was because of a quote I read which said "Amateur artists wait for inspiration, a Professional artist makes it a point to create everyday." That hit me home, because I still do that! I still wait for inspiration.

You probably don't know this, but me and a friend have been working on a story. It's over 15,000 words long! (For any DBZ fans out there: It's over NINE THOUSAND what nine thousand?!) Maybe I will post some of that stuff here, to help pad out my art blog with the other art:writing. That was actually part two of my ONE resolution, I would write something every day, maybe a poem, anything, usually referencing what I just drew.

 This particular post has gotten too long for my taste, and probably for yours unless you really enjoy reading thousands of words, in which case, I salute you, but it's just not for me. I prefer to write them, winky face emoticon. So look forward to stuff! From art, to short stories, and maybe soon enough my own testimony! (Although I don't see anything special about my particular testimony, but it never hurts to be able to show what my Christian life means to me.)
