I've been rather busy and haven't had time to labor over
Inktober, and in a way, I'm happy about that.
I've scribbled little sketches and released them into the wild instead
of fussing over them. It's kind of
liberating and I like the responses I've gotten especially the Rorschach
responses to the one above for "dark" -- black hole, sea anemone,
porcupine, Trump's stomach... I don't
have perfect attendance on this challenge, but I'm counting it as a success to
have done about half of the word list.
I know I'm not the only one to struggle with
perfectionism. I try to remind myself
of a past creative director's advice, "Don't make it perfect. People don't like perfect!" So true, but it kind of feels like having a
wardrobe misfunction when we let people see our flaws. Yet as I told that CD, "But I'm so much
better than I used to be!" I want
points for personal growth!
In any case, since I have too many words from Inktober, and no new words from IF, I'll just let you look at my month of scribbles...

I sent this bit of minimalism to my fellow cheesecake loving friend for "tasty"...
She requested chocolate sauce.
See, it's all fun. You can play too. Go to I
