Oooh it’s like that occasionally for me in my case when I feel like writing, it usually doesn’t matter what I’m writing, as long as it’s words
Rather instead of prose vs poetry, it’s writing and graphic designing that compete instead my graphic rolls and writing rolls rarely overlap, if at all
Generally, I’ve used 3 sizes of dwarfs: half-height, almost humans height, and built like a square. There are smaller hominids but they are things like Gnomes.
I’m the same way – most types of writing fit into the same creative box for me, while art lives in a separate part of my brain. I always switch between art and writing phases. I think having two main creative hobbies that you can alternate is nice though, it gives one time to recharge each hobby while still having something else to do.
I think I can tackle writing now because earlier was annoying.
My eyes were so tired that I didn’t think I would be able to get any type of writing done. I rested up for a bit and now the only thing I want to give me issues is that fact that I’ve been typing for too long and it is starting to affect my writing a bit.
Hopefully it gets better. It should as they get older. I can’t say I’ll understand what you’ll be experiencing. But as a once trouble teen myself, I can sympathize now from my parents’ perspective, being older. I was a total brat, but most of it was because of identity crisis.
I hope she reaches an understanding to make life easier for the both of you. You’re a good person, and I’m sure you’re every bit a good parent. So hang in there, but try not to burn yourself out.
Are you wanting something smaller than a dwarf? What about a gnome, brownie, sprite, pixie or leprechaun?
As far as real life dwarves with dwarfism, here’s one from the middle ages, but he seems to be pretty rare. However, in fantasy anything is possible, eh? ¯\_(ﭢ)_/¯
If this is for a fantasy novel you could always have a magical being put a curse on the dwarf, and thus the dwarf becomes smaller. Or does it have to be the result of a genetic factor in order for your story to work?
I’m so happy to be writing again even if I’m just rewriting. Then again, I’ve rewritten new scenes and added on to others. Progress is going really well. Maybe I can finish rewriting before the year’s up?
