Slumps

A slower post today and a little unpolished, but a post needed to be done!

I have always worked well with weapons, I think. Sure, there are some weapons that I found were easier to work with than others, but for the most part I have always been able to pull together my own form without too much difficulty. Yeah, slumps occur (or “writers block”, you could call it). But they never last for too long. Usually.

On Saturday, I think I was able to finally get through a few slumps. In both my sword form and my spear form, I had been stuck for several months. With my sword, it was a matter of how to move forward in a way that was both unique and similar to the rest of the form I created last year. With my spear, it was how to get out of a rather disadvantageous position whilst spinning an 8ish lb weapon. And I think I finally got through it! Maybe!

The moves still need polish, so we will see if they work. But continuing to pursue different avenues of thoughts and different approaches is something that has allowed me to really understand different weapons in the past, and I believe the opportunities provided here are doing the same.
