:
Got a BIG ole migraine and then it went away with my new miracle herbs! In recovery mode now.
I used to like to draw and I used to like to look at arts. I had friends who went to art school and knew a teacher or two and I knew what they did was something more neurosis-inducing that what I did.
I was always glad I was doing my own thing which was making stuff like pretty birthday cards and my own wedding invitations and doodling for children in pediatrician waiting rooms and painting a life size oil portrait of my dog. I felt happy in my place--not a good artist, just a arty person.
I don't know when I decided I wanted to be good. I think I'm going to try to BE BAD from now on. There's art in BAD. IN FANART BAD. YES, I SHALL BE BAD.
Anyway, two interesting articles from
metafandom
Why Fanfic?
Wankity, wank, we're old and you're not
