The schedule is a thorn

 Creativity and good ideas don't keep office hours and that being said our supposed circadian rhythms do, and brutally so. 

 I often think that the life of a true creative is torturous just on a sleep level, because you may be inspired at times when its socially unacceptable, like be a metal sculptor and feeling the need to grind and weld but living in a space with noise regulations.

Myself, being a digital creative, it comes down to screen time, domestic and family interactions, and limits of computer and camera hardware. I have a canon EOS M10 mirror-less camera that I was using with a 3D printed tilt-shift camera adapter and unfortunately the adaptor cracked and died. 

I'm hoping to revisit the tilt shift idea with an old EF mount I have, and a tougher 3D printed cylinder to accommodate the 50mm F1.4 Canon FD lens I have butchered for this project. 

And that's just for some of my photographic and video aspirations. 

My morning creativity starts as soon as I wake, with an hour of writing on a new novel I'm working on. The creation of that novel begins with this process I use, a basic three act structure layout (usually with elements plotted from a mind map) and then a more elaborate story outline in a sequential layout of scenes, and then the actual writing.

Having the story outline I may do a graphic novel concurrently with the novel writing, or after the writing. I'm as yet undecided.

But yet again for my photo and video itch I have to make time to get that tilt shift sorted, and tonight is going to be the start of that....
