That would be fun! But such a hassle that sometimes it doesn't seem like it would be worth it...especially if you're only pursuing it as a side career as I hope to. Do artists go on tours? I know writers do and artists have exhibits...

Yeah, both are necessary so if you have that as a strong base hopefully the plot will come along too. That is the trouble: trying to avoid cliches but still be realistic. Some cliches are overused for a reason: they're good.

Thank you for advice! I will definitely look into that though maybe not for a few weeks. And yes flying planes is a lot of fun. I've spent a few hours in the cockpit (Cessnas 208, 207, 206, and 172 respectively) and in some ways it's difficult, but it is really cool.

Those are good ideas. Setting up routines can help too seeing as my schedule has dissolved into "I should do that today"-"Whoops there goes the day and I did nothing". I am definitely planning on getting an update up by the end of the week, though so I'll keep those tips in mind. (psychological meltdown of fatigue-yikes! Sounds like so much fun)

Okay, instrumental music: I am probably one of the biggest instrumental music nerds you will ever meet. My sister and I have a game where we'll listen to a soundtrack playlist and quiz each other on the movie and composer. Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson-Williams, and John Williams are my favorite, but John Powell and Two Steps from Hell are also really great. I've heard of some of the music you've suggested, but I'll definitely check them out. Thanks! Moderation is super important, yeah. I have the Narnia soundtrack (my absolute favorite music, particularly the Battle) saved on my computer whenever I need a pick-me-up or extreme burst of inspiration (all-nighters, so fun), but I have to be careful not to overdo it.

Man, I still feel bad about taking so long to reply this time, especially since apparently I lost your friendship :/ :P. It is kind of amazing to think that we have kept relative contact for 6+ years without having actually met. Crazy but nice.

On a totally random sidenote, I really like the new background. When did that happen?
