I’m 31 pages deep into my graphic novel, and it is still going well. Not “OMG this is going so well!” well, but “I can do this if I write four pages every day, and I can write four pages every day. I am determined to.
Also, I’m going through a funny phase. It actually isn’t about me, not this time. It’s more about Latvian way of dealing with things (in many separate areas) that seems to be the main attraction this time. Nothing of it really concerns me–life seems to be flowing around me while I sit in a glass cocoon and write, and smile–but observing people is very interesting right now. Not just people, the way the social groups interact, how they form around simple statements and how their beliefs are tainted by the previous interactions with each other. I feel like watching spiders in a glass bowl, or probably large ant colonies fighting for territory. It’s amazing, and it’s (sometimes) terrifying, and very, very human. I wonder whether this close and complex relationship between social groups is something unique to small countries where everybody knows everybody else, or is it the same everywhere.
P.S. Oh, and I have slept four hours tonight. That explains the fuzziness of this post. And my English.
