Word of the day: 初めまして
Hajimemashite - nice to meet you, something happening for the first time
I managed to get some sort of questions written out so I look at least a bit prepared for the meeting today. It is only going to be an hour but I am not sure how it is going to go either way. I feel like, like with most of my commissions/gigs, the person is going to be unimpressed with my work and choose not to work with me any longer, but at the very least I feel like I can steer him in the right direction or get him thinking about stuff that might be useful to his goals.
It is a free lesson anyway so, I am not too worried about impressing them or making a good impression. I think this is just going to be getting to know and figuring out how he wants to proceed with future lessons.
I am surprised how fast I finished the pages too but it is pretty good how a big font can fill a page rather quickly. I have 4 pages and a few resources. I feel it is prepared enough for the meeting.
I do have to realize that the sun conjunct Neptune is happening so we are all going to be a little loopy or unrealistic on things so if anything that lets me know that I have to give and receive as gracefully as possible.
Jani reached back out to me wanting to work on Pixie Road again. I am sort of happy about that because it would be nice to make progress with that but he kept mentioning the trademark and PI of the project so, his worry is now my worry and, the additional worry of: how trustworthy is he?
I don’t think he is going to rip me off necessarily but it is odd he is worried about that sort of thing in particular. Also perhaps because he does have faith in the project and wants it to be completed but, I don’t need a Ray Kroc pilfering my genius, you know?
At least I’d like to make sure I get a pretty good share before being betrayed.
I think I am experiencing some sort of clare ability right now but it is new or something that is newly awakened without drugs so, I am confused as to what it means. I know for a fact it is being brought on by the Sun conjunct Neptune, but I think past that, the Vietnamese guy who managed to make his way in my life is sort of pinging it. Well… It could be just a coincidence, like he happened to be there when it awakened but, people in the spiritual realm rarely believe in coincidences.
I need to get an LLC, then talk to a lawyer about stuff. Or get a list of questions and prepare for answers. I would love to just focus on making the game and not have to think of anything but I do know that sooner or later I will need to protect my assets somehow, even if it is not with an LLC. I need to make sure that I’ll get royalties or some sort of compensation for my time but I also feel like it is dumb to focus solely on that for a game of all things.
It is a business but also a passion in a certain way. Or a creative outlet for me. I know so many people are making games right now and the whole industry is pretty saturated with indie inventions, but so are most other creative fields.
My right eye is twitching right now so I guess I overdid the caffeine today. A cup of coffee and a cup of matcha. I am basically just trying to pass the time right now in the library until 12 pm. Hopefully the meeting wasn’t at 12:30pm.
I am pretty sure it is at 12pm. Ew, the desk was sticky enough to rip the back of my paper that I just printed a little bit. I wonder if I should print out another page so it looks clean or not?
I am not going to worry about it.
I already typed 600 words but I am going to keep typing just because I can always use more thoughts to copy and paste into the oblivion for pennies.
11:30am, I probably need to get going soon but I find the writing so calming. I am just listening to nearby conversation and Youtube videos and finding peace in the rhythm of all of it.
Should I have put on make up?
Probably should’ve put on at least a little bit of it but I don’t feel bad being bare-faced. Like I told Kim, this isn’t a date so I don’t need to worry about being physically appealing really. Though I know he’d probably be more interested in continuing on with me if i were done up more, but… I kind of hope he realizes that he doesn’t need me or goes on to Chemeketa or Portland English Academy.
If I can help him in that way and it is a nice conversation, all the better.
