Photography is draining in many, many ways. Obviously you&#8217;re going to have to shell out a lot of money for proper equipment. And then you&#8217;ll have to either walk around or go to far-flung places to shoot something new and innovative (or hopefully do something different with what&#8217;s been done before) &#8212; that will drain you of money, again, and strength. And if that wasn&#8217;t enough, you&#8217;ll also be drained of your creative juices after you&#8217;ve practically tried everything you could ever think of and still you haven&#8217;t really found that One Big Shot that would forever leave you contented.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So anyway, hitting the wall. Whatever. Here&#8217;s hoping that soon enough that wall will crumble and I&#8217;ll find my enthusiasm again. Until then, I&#8217;ll just pepper my Flickr stream and Facebook account with self-portraits LOL.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8212;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;ve recently started this huge writing project that&#8217;s starting to eat my time and sanity. I initially estimated it to be just under 10k words but quickly scratched that idea after I reached the 10k mark before reaching 25% of the plot. I&#8217;m now almost over 40k and I haven&#8217;t even gone to 50%. Pretty epic for a personal project, yes?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I hope I can finish this, if only for my sanity and my faithful beta-reader&#8217;s (who doesn&#8217;t want to point out my errors and is just enjoying being entertained lol). I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll ever let anyone else read it though. I&#8217;m shy like that haha.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8212;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Storm season&#8217;s underway. We&#8217;re currently sitting at the top of the Western Conf with 5 wins and 1 loss. We&#8217;ve been the comeback kids for 3 of those games, lost one at Chicago, and decimated the Silver Stars in the last game (which I missed &#8212; complete fan fail!).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">LJ&#8217;s healthy and she&#8217;s already won a Player of the Week award which is all sorts of awesome. Birdy&#8217;s second in Assists behind Cappie with 6.6 a game (I think she even led the league before that loss at Chicago but I&#8217;m just speculating). Swin&#8217;s playing like a monster whenever we&#8217;re in trouble. It&#8217;s almost great, this start of the season is. I really hope we can keep this up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8212;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Photo by Simon Butterworth [<a href=\"http:\/\/photo.net\/photodb\/photo?photo_id=8290477\">Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve hit a wall, again, in my self-studying of this expensive and taxing hobby that I&#8217;ve immersed myself into.
