The Creature got over his huff about not being taken to Mythcon. He was keeping an eye on me today while I edited, making sure my eyedrops were near at hand.
I realized the other day that doing these Creature shots is a way of self-encouragement on the creative front. I can make commentary on things I let distract me, or projects I should be giving attention to.
And besides, I just like the guy! My favorite “monster.”
The freelance editing I’ve been doing does take a lot of work. I’m getting paid to help the client improve the text, so they deserve my full attention. That makes it slow going. And each client is unique, with different matters that need addressing – some on the micro level of punctuation, some on the larger level of storytelling intentions and concepts. But it is interesting work, and it does help toward the bill-paying.
