    Default taking sabattical

    It would be better for my own good to take a break from this forum for 3 months.

    The reason is I came across a life-changing quote this morning that went something like:

    "In the long run, improvisation is better than research"

    My personality is too addictive to handle the highs I get off information, i need to re-wire my brain towards creation.



    pop the champagne!!!

    I think education is always a good thing, even when relating to an artistic craft. You just need to be sure you're educating yourself with the right knowledge! Extensive technical knowledge comes a dime a dozen, learning the structure and meaning of good storytelling, is a much greater goal.

    Good luck either way though!

    OKAY... So that's a bit random and weird..
    I couldn't start a thread that I wouldn't ever check back and read.

    At least you know yourself I guess... Good luck. <which I'm only saying cuz I bet you come back before 3 months...

    Probably a good idea. I've noticed an increased hostility level in your posts of late, much like my own. Better to walk away for awhile.
    To all Newbies: Have you read this FAQ before posting? Or watched this short video?
    If you haven't, then don't complain when I close or move your thread.

    Well now...that's a horse of a different color.

    I couldn't read between the lines in the original post enough for that I guess...
    Incidentally, I probably count to ten at least 15 times a day, if not I'd surely be on the 5:00 news!
