This post is an echo and nod and in absolute agreement with Hayley's last post. A valiant effort (or in my case, more of a mental effort, since productivity has dwindled to a mere trickle), to keep creativity alive has become more like a valiant desire to keep creativity alive.
That valiant desire is being laughed at by this monster thing called 'The List of Things to Do.' Oh you know what's on 'The List of Things to Do,' you have one yourself. Whether it be papers or school or work or... you know. Today I checked off several things on my 'List of Things to Do.' You know, items seem to grow larger and larger, until they hit monster proportions when left on their own for too long. Yeah. And my sword seems to shrink to the size of a nail clipper by the time an item has been left to simmer... simmer, simmer, simmer... for way too long.
That's my long-winded way of saying I have been itching to do something creative, finish up some art, write something and basically put on a beautiful dress with matching Mary Janes, maybe an over-sized sweater, a big fluffy tuque, swap in my red glasses (gorgeous, yes), for big nerdy black ones and... ah there goes that stereotype. Hey, can anyone blame me for describing the quintessential writer or artist living in a haze of creativity?
Okay. So that doesn't happen to me. I'm not the most hip person around, but I do like my daily dose(or weekly dose) of creativity. More recently that fix has been occurring in the kitchen, which thankfully is fun. But the art and words are calling, and like a sourdough starter needs to be fed.
Oh necessity. And List of Things to Do. How you sometimes make the me growl at you. But alas, you are part of life and, at the end of the day, aren't big monsters but little guys with big dancing shadows.
Silly creatures.

Don't Die on Me Blog
Dear Blog, Don't fall apart.
Well it's September and numbers are doing nothing but falling and falling. Our progress on Taya is moving slower than ever, but sadly faster than imagined? Is that a thing? Anyways, it's been a while for updates, I know they are boring updates... but like cut us slack. It's hard balancing school work and social life and a blog. Especially a blog. Especially because our man motivation is each other and we are not really able to do that.
ANYWAYS. I want anybody who takes any amount of time to scan this blog to scan and share our other blogs. The only way we can grow right now is with fans... and we have like two. NOT THAT THOSE TWO ARE CRAZY AWESOME, but like... help us, we like help. Tweet us sometime. We can tell you stuff you wanna know, stuff you don't really care about, and stuff that is just plain fun. We are interesting people... trust me.
Maybe if we get more views we will bring back interesting tidbits. Until then I am going on an Interest Tidbit strike. SHARE SHARE SHARE.
... Oh if you have a peace you want to blog that is creative non-fiction give us a shout and we can post. Then you can share your stuff and it'll be a swell partnership. What do you say?

Pink Shirt
Hello all of you crazy peoples!
I am no longer in the quaint town of that I was once in... I am now in Toronto... the great and power city. UPDATES. So, here is the plan, we are currently working on 20, and that should be done fairly soon... We will continue to post, every Thursday, with some art here and there. Since chapter 15 has just recently been posted, that marks the halfway of the entire book as we intend to write 30 chapters.. chapter 25 should be the final chapter posted online... after that you have to buy the book in order to read the ending... yes I know... sneaky... BUT we need to find a way to live... sooo... Im sure if you have stuck it out as long as we have, you'll be cool with said proposal.
I have my schedule for the semester and I realized that I have a fair amount of time on my hands right now... So I'll try and get some writing in for you peeps.
I do not have a InterestingTidBit for you today... except that I am wearing a pink shirt... awesome...
Anywho! We are very excited to see this work in progress turn into a full blow book! so look out world! If you have any questions... tweet at us at the side... comment... or.... um, I think those are the only two... 'cause google plus sucks and no one uses it anyway... :D
