In Which the Blog was almost lost, and other thoughts

Good evening, my friend, reader of the present post, I am happy to see you, always happy to see you. How are you, this fine beginning of Thursday? The past few days have been of profound stress and tears of desperation. This is due in special because my blog, I believe due to an AI moderation malfunction, was flagged as malware and taken down by Google. That was the equivalent of throwing me in an ice lake in antartica. I made an appeal afterwards, and thankfully the error was corrected, but until it was recovered, I had a horrendous Tuesday-Wednesday night. I was weeping through the whole evening, I risked losing the work, albeit hobby oriented, of 8 years.  It was not the only reason for my tears. I also saw an eulogy a new pen pal made for his great friend, that unfortunately perished. I felt awful for him, and I wish I could have met his good friend, he seemed like a lovely gentleman. I decidedly don't like eulogies much, I definitely felt small in comparison to his friend. And...

In Which I am struck with a creative block for writing and gaming

Hello everyone and good morning! Been a couple of weeks, right? Dang, partial creative block has been getting me these days, and I will chat a bit further about it in today's post. But well, how are you today, first I will ask. How is the weather? Summer is coming with strength, and it's making me sweaty and miserable, maybe one of the reasons for such creative block. And since I mentioned it again, let's chat it further about it, because it isn't as black-and-white as it seems.

Even with the current limitations I face, of not having a proper desk to draw at home, still waiting for the final one, I've been drawing a ton these past days, which has been really fun. When I go to the house of my grandma, I do the traditional sketch, and then, maybe after I transfer the drawings to Illustrator, as I do need to make the most of my Adobe Plan, and I even purchased new color pencils that should be arriving next week or so. I bought a big box with 100 color pencils and I cannot wait to explore their potential.

I also been editing pictures some moments, specially bringing a bit (sometimes a lot more) vibrancy to them. I haven't been using Instagram as much for it anymore, just been using Adobe Lightroom, again, to make most of it, but also because my friend told me, and I had a deep suspicion before, that editing the pictures on Instagram would decrease their quality. This friend is not fond of the activity of editing pictures anyway. As for me, I love editing them, just been moving towards a different app to do that.

So, meanwhile I don't have much creative problem on the drawing/picture side, I've been facing a major block on the gaming/writing one, which is a major bummer! What became the Anno era of my life, where that was my major game, seems to be coming to a close, we don't know what the future holds for Anno 1800, and the more significant DLCs seem to be behind us. It came with a vacumn of games, as Humankind is also not capturing my imagination as much in the moment, Civilization is absent for now... The games I've been playing the most are sort of passing through a crisis for me, and I don't know what to make of it yet. I tried a new game, Planet Zoo, that I didn't like much in the end, it failed so far to capture my imagination...

Concerning writing, I haven't been feeling like writing much on the blog the past few weeks or so, which is a bummer, but I didn't want to force myself to do it... Not having the will to write a new story at this precise moment, and don't have much to say, either. Maybe I do, in the end, but well, it doesn't always translate to new blog posts. Not having a fixed schedule anymore kinda hurts me on that regard...

I do hope I will write some more, though! Maybe this week I'll be coming with another post tomorrow or so. One step at a time. As this one is getting long, I should call it for now! Thank you for reading this short resume of my creative situation, friend, I appreciate you a lot, and I see you again real soon!
