Tepotia Vs. Velatia Vs. Reality

So I haven't updated my blog in a while. Things haven't really been crazy, i've just been lazy. Sort of.

I've applied to about five different places for work, and have been utterly unsuccessful. Its been quite depressing and boring. THe depressing side of it sucks, but the boring side was exactly what i needed to motivate myself to start creating things. I've got two projects going on right now. One is small, one is big.

The small project is a rock garden. I'm going to build it right behind a creek that runs though my backyard. There's a large open space that would look beautiful with a raked pebble garden. THe first step is clearing out the brush and vines and basically clearing a path that would lead to the garden. That's what I'm still doing. Weedwacking, weeding, and wheelbarrowing undesirable plants. After a few days of work, I'm about a 4th of the way there, but if everything comes together, it will be georgeous.

The bigger project is a book. I want to write a book about Velatia and Tepo and everything stuck inbetween. When I'm bored, my best work comes out, and by that logic, I will be the fucking lovechild of Vonnegut and PIcasso by the end of the week. I've been wanting to do this for a while now, and I'm beginning to feels its finally time to buckle down and make this thing happen. It will take a long time, but honestly, it's not like I'm doing anything else. I'll be posting excerpts from the history thats already written about Velatia, and once in a while i'll post excerpts form the actual book itself (like last week).

MUch of it will be unedited, and simply a way for me to post specific parts of the story that i am focusing on at that period of time. Kind of like this post! Here i go.
