Obsessive and Compulsive Little Me

It is crazy to be this compulsive about so many things. I draw out three or four cartoons a week that I paint. It may take me another week, but I work on four at once. My daily poem quota is ten, but I sometimes write thirty. Okay. I lie. I once wrote thirty in one day. Out of three years, this only happened once. When I am done, I am done. When it is over, it is over. I thought poetry would be over by now. It has been a three year obsession. It is nowhere near over. I thought painting would be over by now. I have over five hundred paintings. Two hundred on the walls, three hundred stacked in piles. Cartooning will never be over. I have been drawing cartoons since I was four years old. It is my go-to, do this and you can shut out the world hobby. I am about to attack four new canvases. My cartoonish mind is ready. I love cartooning the best. A sixty-four year obsession….
