What is Antescript? Simply, it is a place to showcase creative projects and chronicle their development from conception all the way to (ideally) fruition. But more than that it is a place to share thoughts on technique and inspiration, and to learn about the creative process and the ways in which we can hone our overabundance of raw potential energy into a fine tool of expression.
My hope is that anyone who reads this will find encouragement in our successes (and lessons in our failures). Maybe you will be entertained as well. Whatever happens, thank you for reading and let the games begin!

Welcome to Antescript!
This is my inaugural post on this blog, and as a consequence, it is bound to be clumsy and annoying, guaranteed to be an embarrassment in several months or years (or, depending on how it goes, hours) when I revisit this post. But boldness apparently has genius, power, and magic in it, so I'll put what I feel down here and edit myself over time.
The tagline for Antescript is "the beginnings of creativity." The blog itself was suggested to me by Mark as a chronicle of our creative works, something like a public record to keep us accountable to our potential efforts. This is certainly a use I am excited to exercise frequently, and so I'll give you a heads up on what to anticipate from my side, in that respect. For any creative projects upon which I embark, Antescript will illustrate my process through it. What I hope this will translate to is the creative idea, from conceptual development through execution and reception, saved and logged here as I follow different paths of inspiration to their respective ends. Notes, freelance associations, concrete contributions, etc., will all find a home here.
The more I thought about "the beginnings of creativity," however, the more I wanted take the term literally and expand on the origins, techniques, and celebrations associated with creativity and imaginative works. This is admittedly an invitation for me to drown in source material, but it is an interesting topic, and I can think of no one who would step away from some chance, some piece of treasured advice, to develop themselves creatively. Therefore, I will venture into discussing different topics on creativity: what it is, how to harness it, how it is recognized and treated, and how it presents itself.
Between my account of creative projects in which I invest myself, discussions and theories on creativity from others, and my opinions peppered throughout the enterprise, I hope something at least entertaining, if not useful, can arise from it.
Thank you, sincerely, for reading.
