captain_slinkyI had a solid 3 or 4 months there where I just didn't have any creativity left in me. I couldn't/wouldn't cook, draw, craft, write, think, appreciate, wonder, describe or make ANYTHING. It just wasn't coming to me like it had come to me in the past.
All my little on-line community projects (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

90minutemix and the likes) have been dead since before Christmas, victims of abandonment and neglect. I am a graveyard where awesome ideas go to die :( Every time I get on the internet I die a little bit from double-shame; Shame that I've let all these things just die, and shame that I'm wasting time on the computer instead of (INSERT CHORE I SHOULD BE DOING HERE). At least when I had these communities up and running, it felt like I was doing *something* on-line rather than just dicking around, ya know? I spend most of my day just staring at the computer screen thinking "What did I used to do here that I thought was so fun?"
Oh sweet Pendulum of Emotion, how gracefully you swing from "Depressive" to "Manic" :)
The Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle last month really kicked me back in to the Manic Creative Awesome Mode again (thank goodness), and I've unfortunately been sidelined by the stupid Traveling Cold that everybody seems to be catching. It goes back and forth between your head and your chest so you never know what medicine to take and lives in your body for, according to those who have had it before me, THREE TO FOUR WEEKS.khristle is at the end of week 3 right now and shows no signs of getting better at all :( But my DESIRE and my CREATIVITY are BACK!
I've been doing a lot of stuff over in thedisneyland community, stirring people up and talking about our favorite parts of Disneyland. For our Bedtime Story every night I've been reading Molly chapters from the vintage 1973 Disneyland book I found at a thrift store (smells like R. Kelly's sheets lol). I've got three games in development (I LOVE MAKING GAMES) all based around Disneyland. At ECCC I found a very rare Richfield Oil "Adventures In Disneyland" comic book from 1955. And then of course aurora77 and her hubby gave me some Sorcerers Of The Magic Kingdom cards at ECCC and that just kind of clinched it - I'm full-on Creative Disneyland Mode now :)
