Admittedly, I’ve had a hard time finding the motivation to write lately, which sucks a little bit more considering my general desire to have at least a post every weekday. It’s been somewhat challenging on some days, but given the fact that there are about 17-18 waking hours of each day, usually something piques my interest, or a thought pops into my head that is adequate enough to get the words flowing.
The thing is right now, I’m apparently using a lot of my concentration these days in preparation for Dragon*Con, which as of the time I’m writing this is a hair over two weeks away. This isn’t something that should be the least bit worrisome for your average attendee, but being one of those weirdoes that likes to have a costume for D*C means that two weeks isn’t so much a chunk of time we’re wishing to erode faster, contrarily, we’re wishing we had more of it.
Needless to say, I’m trying my hardest to not let the thoughts of doubt creep into my psyche, and make me feel like I’ve got an insurmountable boulder to drag up the hill. I do feel as if I’m making some decent progress, in spite of the fact that I’ve had an immensely difficult time in getting the wheels turning over the summer, and in all frankness I shouldn’t be in this situation had I gotten my ass in gear at an earlier time.
Alrighty then, Dragon*Con is a month beyond us now, and I feel like I’ve caught up on a lot of things in terms of writing, processing pictures, more writing, and simply getting back into the swing of things. That being said, I realized that I never followed through with my promises to myself and to my seven readers that I’d do my best to chronicle the construction of the Riot Graves gun for the costume I wore at Dragon*Con, and subsequently the other costume components.
