I'm glad its finally happening and were're no longer putting it off-it seems to be helping her almost craving desire to draw. As for you sir, I say this, I have alway's wanted you to write and illustrate something. I've always felt that illustrating someone elses story might be a drawback of sorts. I know BFX has been in the works for a while, but I'm talking about a completely new-cool-hotness. I'm sure you must be over-flowing with story ideas. Meditate on the greatest story ever told ...haha...i think it exist somewhere..<br/>So theres my long-winded take on it...in the end have fun no matter what you do.<br/>- Sam<br/>I wish Texas was as cool as Austin...

At a cafe' or such, you can't get up every half hour to check email, or flip on the TV for news or a quick show, or scrounge around in the kitchen, staring at food in the refrigerator. I've started taking a pad and headphones to work 4 hours solid <i>away</i> from the office every day. Plus, the people around you looking busy typing on their laptops (who are all really checking email or dating sites rather than doing homework) sets a nice mood. :)<br/><br/>I think slumps happen when we become too comfortable in our setting or situation. Maybe that's the real reason so many artists and writers become alcoholics and drug addicts or have relationship problems? The drama keeps them on their toes and they can use their craft as either an escape or a way to solve their personal issues. Personally, I'm always most creative when there's a lot going on, and least creative when everything is still. Creativity seems to come at times that are the most inconvenient and flees when most needed.<br/><br/>You should get out. It'll do ya' good. ^_~ Lately, I’ve found the best remedy for lack of inspiration is to get away from the office entirely.
