Stuck, but not stuck, just kind of stalled.

Need an unstuck day.  A day to play around on graph paper and doodle.  To poke at high idea generators with a stick, and then have the low idea generators to poke back at me with crit and thoughts.  Time to play around with plot lines and theme and other creative hiccups.

Hail, mistress of the end of the middle book blues!

I'm not actually depressed about this, just irksome in that I want to make shiny things now, and I am full of "MEH" at where to go next.

Did figure out that the chosen few are only for the actual operation, and the children of the movement will be providing distraction and destruction duties.  Think WIPO mayhem.

I want to make this glitter and gleam.

(an aside:  I have a perfectly formed idea for a 6-9 panel comic about elisem's jewelry from the PoV of a bead.  Wish I could draw :| )

Final Thoughts

I loved my Sydney experience. It is an amazingly cosmopolitan city, with a great mix of cultures. I'm now ready to take on more of Australia once I have another opportunity. Once the sticker shock wore off, it was well worth the cash outlay for a once in a lifetime chance. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I hope I get another chance to visit the Sydney offices and use them as a springboard to see more of the Southern hemisphere.

If you have any questions about the experience, feel free to inquire within.
