>.< Focus Why -.-

Posted on by Nolan Slover (Note Worthy)

So, today… let’s see.

I made buttermilk pancakes for breakfast, then livetweeted the new episode.  After that, I mowed the front yard, took a small break while trying to download today’s episode. I then went out with Mom to Home Depot and Cub Foods, came home and mowed the back yard, put summer furniture from the deck away, then put the new lights on the house to replace the ones we had up from last Christmas.

We then had dinner, Lasagna Soup from an October issue of Food Network Magazine which was pretty good.

Then, after washing dishes, I come downstairs and proceed to watch videos about abandoned malls of all things.

Now, from the Fallout Equestria universe, I could consider it research: heck, even in the Fallout universe itself, it’s conceivable that former shopping centers have been repurporsed to serve a different need.

Needless to say, my Saturday has been disjointed and really chaotic.  It’s almost funny; I still have cards I traded with my friends last week that I haven’t touched or looked at since getting them.  Really not like me to be honest.

I’m working on an update post and I’ll try to have it out before Midnight my time… although right now that’s not looking all that likely.

These Hands Can’t Draw For *YAY*

Oooooooooo-kay, so…

Get this done right quick so I can get a cup of coffee and start my Friday.

So…

Ican’tdraw.

Like, okay… that’s not precisely true; I have done some stuff that I have on my deviantART page but it’s hardly what I’d call good.  On the scale of artists, I rank myself about a 27 on a 1 to 100 measure.

I’m still kicking around the idea of learning how (>.> I DON’T HAVE TIME AS IT IS TO DO EVERYTHING I WANT TO), taking a class ($$$), or just… practicing.

Over and over.

Repeatedly.

Ctrl+Z’ing everything I do because it doesn’t look right.

I’ve heard that Tumblr with art get more attention.  So, believe me, y’all, it’s not of a lack of desire.

I just can’t draw well.

SCARY MOMENT

Posted on by Nolan Slover (Note Worthy)

So, just finished my last post and was confused when it didn’t pop up right at the forefront of the Tumblr timeline.

Then, for a brief moment, I freaked out.  Was convinced that I had just done all that work and that Tumblr ate it!

I simply forgot to change the dropdown from “Save Draft” to “Post”.

… I could feel the blood draining from my face when that happened.

Was not a feeling I want to repeat again any time soon.

Thought of the Day

Posted on by Nolan Slover (Note Worthy)

In my last update, we had Fluttershy meet Toy Chica, or Toy Chica meet Fluttershy, whichever way you want to slice it.

Now I really want to see that.

The sheer adorableness of that scene must be captured in a picture.

Even considering commissioning an artist to draw it.

I’ll have an update post tonight when I get home from work.

Flattery or Concept Theft?

Posted on by Nolan Slover (Note Worthy)

So, I’ve been posting a bit after discovering a friend’s Tumblr blog and becoming inspired by the content presented there.  Now, up until I had been exposed to said content I wouldn’t have considered posting and/or talking about it; my previous reaction would have been to ignore it and focus on something else because of my sadly shallow depth in the genre of video games that I play/have played.

There’s a chance I’m making far too much of this and seeing a problem where none exists, but the more I think about what I’m writing the more it feels to me that my motivations behind this content I’m creating/imagining aren’t right as it’s too closely following the concept the other blog is creating.  Due to the mod’s work schedule, I haven’t had the chance to talk with them about this and get their feelings on what I’m doing and if it’s something that they could perceive is simple flattery or if I’m crossing a line and trying to do something they’re already investing hours of time writing, editing, and processing in.

Again, I’m… probably making far too big a deal of this, but I thought it was fair to say what I’m feeling before I go on with other posts.

Stupid Busy October

Posted on by Nolan Slover (Note Worthy)

Well, as of late my mind and muse have been kinda cranked into overdrive with the want to do things. The problem I have is that I don’t have enough time with which to do said creating. With people in the house that would wonder what the HELL was wrong with me for doing it, making it all the harder to let my muse run its course for October. This weekend I’m booked ALL of Saturday with a thing at church, live tweeting the next episode of Pony, and then meeting my friends at the Mall for our monthly get-together. Sunday after church is our Fall picnic. Then we’re back to Monday and five days of work before my first chance to do anything with voice work next Saturday, providing that doesn’t get turned to a working weekend. AFTER THAT, I’m off to TWO, yes two, conventions. Nightmare Nights and Ciderfest the next weekend.

My quandary lies in my lack of knowledge of the subject matter. I’ve played very few video games and didn’t even make it through Night 1 of FNAF 2. Not only that, but… I like what I do to be as original as possible. With Cate already doing her Phantom Mod asks, it seems–to my mind at least–that to do something similar is one step past plagiarism.

I have made up my mind though; I’m going to create something. Just not 100% sure what that something will be yet.
