Okay, so, “Destiny’s Wife,” huh? Sounds kinda grand, doesn’t it? Well, let me tell you, the process was anything but grand at the start. It was more like, “Destiny’s Wife… what the heck am I even doing?”
It all started with this crazy idea I had. I wanted to, I don’t know, express something. Make something? It was all very vague, I gotta admit. I just knew I wanted to create, I was itching for it.
The Messy Beginning
First, I brainstormed. And I mean, really brainstormed. Like, papers everywhere, scribbled notes, half-formed ideas… it was chaos. Pure, creative chaos. I wrote down everything that popped into my head, no matter how silly it seemed. I was just tossing words at a canvas and hoping something would stick. There was something magical about the idea of “fate” and “partnership.”
- Scribbled a bunch of random words.
- Made some terrible sketches.
- Paced around my room like a madman.
- Almost gave up like, five times.
- Remembered that persistency is key!
Finding the Form, Finally!
After the initial mess, I started to see patterns. Certain words kept coming up. Certain images kept appearing in my mind. Slowly, painfully, a form started to emerge. It became clear it wanted to be something visual. I began to play with some video editing tools, and then I tried to film a simple scene.
I experimented with different versions. Then I discarded at least 90% of what I did. It’s all part of the process, right? Gotta make the bad stuff to get to the good stuff.
- Tried to get rid of the “bad” stuff.
- Made some big changes.
- Got annoyed and stopped, several times.
- Forced to take breaks and remember that everything is ok.
The Final Touches (and the Relief!)
Finally, after what felt like forever, I had something I wasn’t completely embarrassed to, I don’t know, “show the world.” It was like, “Okay, this kinda resembles what was in my head.” Huge relief, let me tell you.
I added some final polish. The “polish” is really just fixing all the little mistakes you made along the way. But hey, it makes a difference!
So, that’s the story of “Destiny’s Wife.” From a vague, messy idea to… well, something a little less vague and messy. It was a journey, a struggle, and a whole lot of fun (eventually). And that’s what creative work is all about, isn’t it?
