I take this to mean writing is something that needs to be worked at and honed, learning how to use language to get your meaning across.

Preserving your stories
There’s no way to really preserve a person when they’ve gone and that’s because whatever you write down it’s not the truth, it’s just a story. Stories are all we’re ever left with in our head or on paper: clever narratives put together from selected facts, legends, well edited tall tales with us in the starring roles.

Musical Monday
The newest album from John Spencer Blues Explosion, Orange. Still wild and loud. Monday wake-up. LOL
Sunday Morning
Memory is a funny thing, ain’t it? I misremembered the lyrics of this song as “Sunday morning…”, but it’s Monday Morning. Here it is anyways.
Anyways, Happy Spring!

Good night.

Today was a better day than yesterday. Very upset stomach all day yesterday, for no real apparent reason. Bleah
So today went and got groceries, and mixed up some potting soil for the garden.
This afternoon was studio time. The page I’m working on was giving me a hard time. Too much dialog and too many panels. I thought about slitting it into a page and a half, and starting the next scene on the second half of the second page. I didn’t really like that idea. I cut dialog quite a bit, and rearranged panels, and now I think it’ll work. It’s all about story beats and page turns.

X Has a new album out
If X can release a new album after 35 years, I guess I can do a new blog post about it. It’s pretty good. I especially liked Angel On The Road. Listen to and get it at Bandcamp (click on the player below).
