: Hi all,
: Well, as some of you know, i have a henna book in the works. It was
: just going to be a lot of random patterns from the arts of various
: cultures. But i was supposed to have it finished by now, and i have
: not even the first 5 pages done. I have 3 that i did wrong and have
: to redraw again.
: And seeing/hearing about all the progress the other authors hanging
: around here are making has made me feel like maybe this wasn't
meant
: to be. I'm stuck back in the begining stages, and everyone else is
: speeding on ahead.
: I also have a really dumb pet-peeve about originality. I feel that
if
: it isn't 100% original as a henna pattern then i can't take credit
: for it. For example, if Turkish arts had already been covered in
: another book, i feel like i can't cover them because it's already
: been done and even if the patterns are totally different, they will
: be somehow an imitation of the original. It makes me feel like
people
: will say 'oh he just re-drew what other people already did.'
: I have no idea where i am going to find the time anyways, as it
looks
: like almost all my free time will be spent doing homework or
: exhausted from doing all the homework. I know, i could be drawing
: now, but what purpose would it serve?
: So is anybody going to give me a major pep talk? I want to do this
: book. Make me do it.
