Like Dinner

I've been reading a lot lately. And watching tv. Because it's kind of like experiencing life without living it. I really needed to write some of that stuff below. It didn't fix me, but it made things a little easier for a little while. I think writing is something I have to do, but I also have to get better at it and do it more. Writing is at least something that flows out of me, whereas drawing is something I force out of me. I'm tired of forcing it, so I'm not doing it any more.

I abandoned reading Lirael halfway through. It's ok but it's just not substantial enough. The story is like paper. It's thin and weak and I guess I need something a bit more. A bit more. I read Asimov's I Robot. It is different from what I expected but good. It is not the structure that is different but little things in the story. I'm not sure how to describe it really. It was just done differently. But it gave me an idea so I guess that's a good thing right? Fight Club is very good so far. It has reminded me that maybe I should finish Catch 22 at some point. I regret having seen the movie before reading the book though. But then I might feel the same way about the movie if I'd read the book first. My sister, Astra, suggested I try reading less fantasy novels and try some real books. I think it was probably a good suggestion and I might try keeping it up. I like these "real" books.

I really am not drawing any more comics. Manny might when he gets the interwebs at his place, if he has time or the inclination. But yeah, I'm done.
