I’m back in training, which means doodling compulsively while the teacher lectures. I just read P. D. James’s The Children of Men, which was the basis for the film of the same name, and in the book one of the members of the council that rules England in a dystopian future doodles Napoleonic battle scenes during meetings. The narrator observes this is not out of boredom or distraction but as a way to avoid wasting time. For me it’s half boredom and distraction and half a way to avoid wasting time.
These are all from today. I always try to doodle less but it’s difficult.
