It's proof that I've been working, finally, these past couple of months not entirely squandered, projects come along just never according to schedule.
I'm obsessed with art supplies, materials to create, I acquire easily 100 times what I need, this project, a couple of dozen notebooks, easily, 20 pencils, 3 dozen pens.
One pens' already given out.
Now, again, 2 pens failing and a 2 inch stub of a pencil, I'm pleased, these things are measurable, I'm no longer a collector, consumer, I'm a creator.
Pages litter the table, I've been condensing, redrawing in finished copy, rewriting, notes, 100 stray sheets and scraps of paper, an additional semi-organized 2 notebooks, things are coming along, not to schedule, but at least they're on their way...
The drawing, it improves, never good but better, always a little bit better, and I'm beginning to relax and enjoy it more. Take more chances. Find the joy in just copying something well done and hope the hard lessons learned by that artist will, by Osmosis or dull repetition, be learned by me, and, slowly slowly they are. Intervals of despair are ever-more frequently broken my minor triumphs.
This is the 99% perspiration.

Another recent inspiration, Habanero Flavored Personal Lubricant. Marketed with such phrases as "Some Like it Hot" and "Put the Spice back into Your Sex Life" and "Spice it Up". Discreetly packaged in squirt bottles so it can be sold in supermarkets and drugstores, alongside the cherry and other flavored lubricants, with perhaps flames and habanero peppers on the label, which would attract potential customers because, really, everyone likes to feel like their being a little naughty and going to hell when they have sex. And with my Habanero Flavored Personal Lubricant, those feelings will not just be psychological...
I'm thinking there will be a pretty big market for this, but I'm not really into cooking up sexual lubricants in my kitchen (although if I were I'd be sure to write "small batch" on the label, because then I could charge higher prices for it). But if you work for a company that manufactures similar things and stumble across this post, feel free to use my idea, we'll work out the royalties later.
