tethered to you

i've been super exhausted lately, for some reason.

i slept way more than usual on sunday night, but nearly fell asleep in all my classes on monday. and total, i slept for another three hours after my online lecture. agh. and tomorrow's already the middle of the week...

lately my main creative project has taken a bit of a turn. i've hit a block in regards to the edits i was making (nothing seems to be melding right, it's been a week since i've posted one), so i think i should try and expand it in other ways. i can't foresee myself being able to share all the lore in edits alone, so i was thinking of creating a site for it (another site, i know). i was planning to take the cyworld template nara showed me (thank u nara :3) and create a sort of diary for the main character of those edits, for the project to be more immersive, if that makes sense. i would have it connected to alternatelinoleum or jinpudding, but i don't want the project to be traced back to me. stories don't exist in a vacuum, but i wanted as little connection to me as possible so it could stand on its own. y'know how classes would tell you to connect the story to the context of the era and oftentimes the author's identity? the context of its creation is important, but i'd hope for my identity to not be. hence why it's a sideblog on tumblr n i don't interact with others using it.

but perhaps that's the wrong way of going about it? perhaps i should connect it to myself, for the purpose of connecting with others and discussing it. i share all the story-related developments in my head with my irl friend, which is fun. idk. we'll see how things go.

YIPEEEEE AN UPDATE!!! that creative block and exhaustion combo is honestly the worst........ ㅠㅠ but pivoting to a whole immersive site using the cyworld template is such a cool, outside-the-box way to push through it!!! creating a diary for your oc to let the lore breathe on its own makes so much sense, and i totally get wanting the work to stand apart from your main identity.

(also the system of alive by w-inds as the sotd?? OMG I LOVE W-INDS!!!!). hope the new approach helps the pieces start melding again, and that you get some proper rest soon~

HII EUGENE!! :D so sorry i missed ur blog last night, but i'm so excited to have two new ones to read~

the weekend is slowly approaching, so maybe u can rest some more in the upcoming days? i completely understand the tiredness tho.. it's been really cold and dreary lately and all i wanna do is curl up in my bed all day, hehe~

expanding your project sounds like a great idea! and a character diary sounds awesome. i like ur idea to establish that sort of disconnect between the piece and urself, bc the mystery of it is so intriguing! but on the other hand, talking about it with others is also fun. i don't think there's a "wrong way" of doing things, bc at the end of the day it's ur work and whatever u decide to do with it is up to none other than u! i hope u can overcome the edit block soon, ur creativity is soon to spring out!
