It would be fun to make a blu-ray box set from scratch. I might just do that one of these days. I watched a little bit of a video on how to do one, like very very little, but color me intrigued. Custom covers. Custom inserts. Custom box. That sounds dope to me. I’m sure it wouldn’t look very good the first or second time around, but by the third time? Or fourth? I bet I could make it look goooood.
I have a modeling setup—like, to paint and glue together miniatures—but I still haven’t used it. It’s been five years. Sigh. I will! I will. But it’s the anxiety of being bad at it that’s stopped me so far, which I need to get over. Maybe that’s what I’ll do once I finish this book. That’ll be my treat and my challenge for myself, to actually get into it and see how it works. I have the stuff! Nice stuff, too, stuff I bought back when we were flush with cash. I really want to use it.
It’s hard for me to do new things. I didn’t know this about myself until recently. The last few years, really. Or maybe I’ve changed, I’m not sure. I don’t think so. I think I’ve always had a hard time doing things outside my comfort zone. I’m a thinker, big time. I look before I leap, way too much. Way too much. That’s the way it is with my writing far too often. But I’m working on it. Sigh. Working on it. I’m trying out here.
The writing has been going okay, actually. Usually, outlining is a very fraught time for me. So many unanswered questions. But this time…I don’t know, I feel exciting by it. It’s genuinely very odd. I’m not even making that up. I don’t know what to make of this shift in how I feel about the outlining. Maybe it’s just that this book offers me a lot of opportunity to have some fun, I don’t know. But, yeah. I’m enjoying it. Need to push push push, but I’m getting there.
Night night.
