I just produced this small rhino drawing while watching the football game. Yes, the fair weather fan in me is back in full force. I think this guy looks like he might be good at tackling. Maybe I should send him to the Bears. Maybe not... I don't know if they have a helmet that would fit. Probably no ear holes. I should mention that I tweaked this guy with Photoshop, so he's not in his natural state.
As I said last night, I finished my 50,000 words. I had only 2600 words to go for a few days and I just couldn't get inspired to work on it until I forced myself to do it last night. Who would have thought that the last 2600 would be the most difficult? I was thinking they were going to be a breeze. Anyway, this was all just an exercise, just to get myself writing and to see if I could do it. I did do it, but I do think that this particular story will not be revisited. I feel pretty good about leaving it behind. As I said a few days ago, I thought I would just start getting silly with the story by adding goats or ninjas or something, but I just couldn't do that to the characters. I had to give them a bit of a resolution, so that's what I did. I owed them that. It's crap, but I stuck with my characters until the bitter end. I would like to try to write something else, something that is planned out a bit. Not that I would want it to be completely planned as sometimes great surprises arise when you're not being too rigid.
In other news, I feel (just within the past 10 minutes, in fact) like I might be coming down with something. I can never really tell for sure until I'm actually sick. Sometimes allergies feel like a cold. I don't want to be sick, but I certainly wouldn't mind not having to go to work.
Oh, and thanks to everyone that kept encouraging me to keep going with my writing. It really did help.

Ah, the last 2600. The last 2600 is always the hardest! Don't you remember this from gradual skool?
Congrats on being finished. Unless, as JB said, there's a sequel already in the works.
Hope you are not too sick.
hurray hurray hurray for your writing project and also for the reappearance of a rhino project on the blog. I too hope you are not sick although I understand the feeling of feeling like you might be coming down with something as I've had that feeling today as well. Perhaps that's a new strain of virus going around---one with symptoms akin to feeling like one might be getting sick. Anyway, if you are sick, I hope it is bad enough to keep you home from work but not bad enough to keep you from blogging and creating art!
