Very interesting post. 

In response, as a writer, let me just say, "Writing if fucking hard." But it's something I enjoy doing, and something that often produces decent results.

I'm sure the same goes for your drawing. Just a few glances at your above sketches shows that your efforts at the "fucking hard" task of drawing are definitely worthwhile and worth any and all effort you put in.

Also, I really liked your comments about doing crap that you don't wanna do.  

I too find exercise pointless, even tho I realize that it's necessary. So, I cycle (which I find very enjoyable and can do for hours at at time.) And now, I swim everyday (largely to cool down here in Thailand0>

While I will spend hours cycling through greenery or along riversides or waterfronts, and hours  paddling around the pool, you won't catch me dead in the gym which is right beside the pool. 

(note ... I came here after seeing your intro on FitinFun's post.)

All the best with your creative efforts, and Full Steem Ahead.
