So what have I learnt in the last few hours spent tinkering with the design? Well, the first thing is that this is going to take far more time and organisation than I hoped. I wasn’t naive enough to expect it to be easy and I wasn’t so presumptuous to imagine that I could finish in one night, but I did expect to learn a little more than I did.
Unfortunately I didn’t, and so it looks like I’m going to have to do something I wished I could avoid. I’m going to have to actually think about this. My initial plan for ‘everything to just work out alright’ was proven ‘fucking moronic’ to put it bluntly and I’m now resigned to putting pencil to paper and come up with a plan.
The reason I was hoping to avoid this eventuality wasn’t because I hate letting my imagination run riot in a sketchpad; it’s more because I’m going to create myself an ideal that will then need to be reached using my sadly limited skills.
This will require a return to the old days.
The problem is that the old days involved working for fourteen hours straight in front of a computer with only regular cigarette breaks and shit-loads of tea to keep me focussed. If anyone’s given some consideration to the fact that I haven’t created anything new in approximately one billion years, it’s because I can no longer continue that kind of lifestyle.
There are several reasons why this is; not least because I have chronic gut rot that limits the number of cups of tea I can drink before dying (shameless exaggeration, but you get the point).
Regardless, I have recently decided to never again say the words “I didn’t have time”. You hear it too much these days. People don’t have time to spend with their kids, to separate their recyclable rubbish, to call the local chav a twat as they drive by… Not enough time is such an easy excuse to use – and I figure I can come up with better ones.
