Another bad thing
Okay, bust out the silver lining patrol, here we go again. You know that thing I spent 200 hours busting my ass on? Well if I’d known what I was doing, I would have realized almost from the start that it wouldn’t work. A bad file, completely worthless. Those entire three hellish weeks were nothing but frustration practice.
Ha, thank goodness for humor. I just have to laugh. I’m such a fuck-up (excuse my British, if you don’t mind…sorry about the f-word and all but I am kinda peeved). It doesn’t bother me so much because Flash animation is not something I aspire to be good at, since that would be akin to a deep need to be a famous ballerina. But it was the culmination of a very large art project, and I had to do it. Or have to, actually, since I have to do it all over.
This time I’ll do it right and re-learn from a book exactly what and why I’m doing something, instead of trying a bunch of different stuff until something works. A long, laborious, and boring process, as well as not all that constructive, since I’ll forget it all soon enough, but not as long and boring as doing it thrice.
Plus it’s not impossible. If it was impossible I’d give it up, like I did being a novelist. Nope, it’s doable, unfortunately, so I have to go back and do it again.
The silver lining? If I hadn’t gone off on that fool’s errand, doomed from the start, I’d still be living in a pighole.
Oink,

Proud of you Tom Plum,
Stalling is not the same as quitting. I’ll look forward to your victory post.
When we go wrong, we often learn more that way. I learn much myself *wink*
Stick at it..
Truly believing in ya x
Hey thanks Truly! This could partly be unconscious stalling, I’m guessing, because when I’m finished with this project I have to get to real work. About all one can do with the unconscious is ignore it as much as possible, I’m thinking. Wohever is sabptaging this project, whether it be me, my subconscious, Adobe, Murphy, Satan, or nobody, I’ll just have to blow ‘em off and keep on truckin.
