Awesome stuff man! I hadn't even heard about this KA-ZAR book but I love when the big 2 allows creators to pluck characters from relative obscurity and breath new life into them. I'll have to add this book to my list for sure!
The bit at the top is what I really appreciated in this one. I've spent years trying to figure out how to write, and even more time staring at a blank page. I would rather sit in front of that blank page for eternity than do anything else because I want to be a writer and that is what it takes, right?
But lately, I've actually taken the time to back away from things and enjoy my days. I have taken my time management into account and silenced a vast majority of the distractions I had bombarding my senses so that "I never miss anything."
And what I have found is that it works. It works so much better than focusing on the craft all of the time. I started exercising daily, managing my schedule and scheduling the things that matter to me. And to my surprise and no one else's, I've accomplished more than I ever did before.
I write in the morning, I edit in the afternoon, and I spend the evening with my family. And enjoy the little things in between. Small pieces of ideas and content float around in my head while I'm focused on other tasks, but I just write the strong ones down and keep going, or I just let them float around and develop until they are ready for writing.
But I don't rush to 'write out an idea' as I did before, ignoring everything around me because 'this is the big idea that is going to make it all worth it.' Creativity comes in bursts, but I find that channeling a good environment and schedule allows me to be creative when the time is right.
I feel more fulfilled in life when I take time for the small things and back away from the craft occasionally. Makes me that much more grateful and diligent with the time I have to sit down and write. This is the way, Mr. Thompson.
Totally stoked to hear your on Kazar Zac! I’m a huge Kazar fan of old, but the character never really evolved into what he could have been, much of this is due to the continuous changes made by the bullpen. The art and those wrap around covers are amazing though! I look forward to checking it out, and I’ll most definitely check out the novella you mentioned! Sounds like my kind of work! Look forward to catching up, and glad to hear your doing well! Mad Respect!
