After spending the last few days...
WEEKS, really...
OK, YEARS...
...Thinking about all the various personal projects I've started working on, all the notes I've compiled, all the drawing I've come up with, files upon files UPON FILES of data on my PC's...
I think my true, TRUE, passion in life is world building.
I've been kicking around some relatively recent thoughts and ideas about a story I've been trying to write for years now. All the LEGO sets I've bought and brainstorming about integrating them into a single, grand unified theory of "what story am I trying to tell with all of them"... Pages and pages of notes, playing through countless video games, putting together playlists of songs, countless digital notes, scratching my head wondering what's behind the next door and picturing the next adventure...
It all comes back to the same question: "What comes next?"
Science fiction, fiction, articles, books, music, art, images, hundreds, thousands, millions, BILLIONS of ones and zeroes. They continue to add up to the same result:
I need to fill in the blanks. Either in your narrative or one of my own.
As I keep dumping ideas into one hole, another one appears (or two or three of a bazillion) more appear. So I have to fill in those gaps. I try to fill them in, and more appear. It's like my brain in playing an endless game of whack-a-mole.
And one just isn't enough. I've got a whole unused hand awaiting assignmment, so why not play two games at once?
Feet?!?! Sure, go for three!!
But wait, sit down and use the other foot!! THAT'S FOUR1!
Whack-A-Mole isn't that hard. It doesn't take much brain power, IT CAN PLAY MENTAL WHACK-A-MOLE!! FIVE!!
Am I overthinking this?!?! YOU'RE ONLY ASKING THIS NOW?!?!?!
It goes on, and on, and... Well, you get the idea...
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to collect my tickets before I start my next game...
