My Project Within a Project

I didn't want to post any of this until I was good and ready.  I've decided to start another project within my 365 project but I genuinely needed to make sure I could commit to it. Knowing how I am, a double commitment is like a stroll over Mt. Everest.

I've been feeling pretty unmotivated with my drawings for quite some time now and I know I need some kind of push so I did a little googling and found this great 100 Things list.  At first I thought "100 Things? Shit, I'll never finish it." As usual not giving myself enough credit. 

Then it occured to me that I'm going to be drawing something every day anyway, might as well try.

The real struggle? I am the worst decision maker. Sure, the list is right there, all written out for me, but I have to DECIDE what I want to draw in each category.  I have to DEFINE each and every word.  What have I gotten myself into?

So I wrote it all out, as you can see here, because when I write things out by hand, they start to make more sense to me. I can soak it in. Chew on it if you will.  I began to realize that this isn't your typical list of "things". Everything on it has potential to tell a great story. 

I'm excited.

I'm following through.

I have completed 7 days so far.

And yes, the list is my "introduction" because writing it all out was a major feat and creative burst for me. So neener.

You can check out the rest on my 100 Thing flickr set and as usual you can see the entire 365 project as well. .

I like the idea of a project like that. I need a sense of accomplishment. Maybe mine could be to eat something chocolate every day?

Manager Mom, I think that's genius! Surely you can find 365 kinds of chocolate!

Sounds Awesome. Can't wait to see it!
