The Mag7 Big Bang story that I'm currently trying to finish is one of those that keeps sidetracking me to research. It's needed research into the arrival of the Spanish and expeditions into Colorado, New Mexico circa 1500, as well as tribes in the area (the Ute), the sea journeys, making up a plausible character from that era... and when you actually get writing, those things that took HOURS to research might be summed up in a few paragraphs - or lines!
With art, I'm learning as I go along but never have enough time to simply play with ideas. Usually, I get an idea and then have to mash my way through to the best of my ability. Sometimes it comes together, other times I have to accept what comes out. I really want to learn to draw and paint. Just have to accept that there are not enough hours in the day between all those other commitments. As long as I keep improving rather than stagnating then I'm happy :)
