I've lost that drawing mojo....

Sat Apr 25, 2009, 12:16 PM
Where on Earth has it gone?!?! I have been sitting for at least a week, waiting for something to come out of the end of my pencil... I have comic scripts all written, waiting to be made, I know exactly what I want in each panel, but when I put lead to paper, it looks like my hand has become posessed by the spirit of a five year old child. I have drawn better whilst blindfolded, using my left hand, playing Win, Lose or Draw! *shakes head* If anyone finds my drawing mojo, please return it, via wolf, to a small appartment in Sheffield!

At least the writing is still happening. Thank goodness. Working hard on all fronts, but especially on anything Vichalace related. I have some good ideas for Book 3 - so fingers crossed I can get something decent onto paper soon. Speaking of writing books, I just saw on Yahoo News that New Moon has halted filming because Ms Meyer is being sued for plagerism by her room mate from college! I always thought the 'it came to me in a dream' was a bit vapid. Anyway, I dunno what to think really, I mean, if it was me, I'd be annoyed because of the money I'd have lost from all the sales, but would anyone really want to own up to writing about sparkling wotzits and alabastor thingamabobs? Hmmm, bit of a catch 22 that one!

In other Zoe news, spent last weekend in York living in a Dark Ages mud hut. No, I haven't regressed in a vain hope to rekindle my artistic abilities, I was re-enacting with Matt. Not many public turned up, which was a bit of a downer, but I did get man-handled by some Germans dressed as Fins... I think... it was a bit confusing as we were all dressed up as something else. I got excited when someone mentioned white Russians, but then I found out that no alcohol was involved, and that was actually what I had to dress up as! Ah well!

I have also managed to get myself addicted to playing Bejewelled Blitz on the evil Book of Face. It is the worst way to while away minute after minute of your precious life. Stay away from it. It is the work of evil, and you will find yourself saying 'Just one more game... just one more... I must... reach new... high... score....'
Also, I have come to the conclusion that our hamsters need some serious therapy. Lenin and Molli have felt the need, during the night, to drag all their bedding out of their nest and place it in the hamster toilet we brought for them. They then snuggled down and went to sleep. Great! Try and make their living environment more hygenic, and they bed down in the blooming loo, which is twice as small as their original nest! Mad, mad beasties!!!

Anyway, that's all for now. Hope everyone is well! Take care all!
Love Zoe and more wolves than she can now count xx

I haven't lost my mind - It's backed up on disk somewhere...

WHERES IT GONE TOOO!!!
:iconvausch-rekab:
OH NO! Fat Bastard went back and time and took your mojo! Well, you could just do what I do: Blame the pencil and get a new one. Seems to work for me =D.

I know what you mean though: I've lost a lot of motivation lately. I've got 2 good ideas for the "bring your vision to life" contest and I can't sit down and draw! Maybe I should lay off the caffeine... *looks at shaking hand*
Either way, good luck on getting yours back.

Thanks. Since not being at work, I really have cut down on the caffine...but upped the tea - what a strange phenomenon! So yeah, I need to go back to the 80's and find that stolen mojo. I think I have some sparkly flairs... maybe that's a start!

Have you tried just random doodling in a sketchbook? Or try to doodle your frustration from not being able to draw?
I find taking a break and doing something completely different and prohibiting myself from drawing for a day tends to help, but it sounds like you've already done that. So all I can suggest is try to push through and maybe come up with some prompt of "specific thing to doodle" maybe doodle with some pen or pencil you normally dont, or in pencil or pen if you normally use the computer? Mixing things up never hurt. ^_^

I hope you're able to rekindle your mojo!

Hey, I was in York this weekend too! Only... it's York, Pennsylvania, so I guess that doesn't count... ah well.

Hope you find your mojo soon. I think mine got stuck under one of the many piles of assorted art/school related objects in my room.... hopefully those critters that run around in there leave it alone
