It's been a while since I've posted, although I've been working the whole time. I'm not sure what to post. I keep trying to find a hook to get on a roll. Again, I have lots of ideas, but I am still trying to form them into something. I haven't posted because I thought I didn't have anything worthwhile to post. Then, I reminded myself that this is what the site is about. It's not about a finished product or a polished presentation. It's about sharing the creative process. And part of that creative process is the stage I'm in. Muddled, unclear, figuring out what to do next. 

But I had a fresh insight. 

Where I left off - I started heading down the road of doing rudimentary videos as practice, going from beginning to end of the process of producing a video. But, once I did that, I got hung up on what content to create. After struggling for some time, I returned to my initial concept that the product isn't a product but sharing the process of developing a product. To that end, I'm going to make videos about coming up with the ideas - coming up with the elements of the videos - the illustration, the audio, etc. 

It may not be interesting, but it does follow my philosophy of the Boatmaker and the Sea. By making the content about coming up with content, I'll always have content even if I never come up with the final content (a bit meta). That's symbolic of life in a way; nothing is ever finished.
