My first blog...hurray!
How do I start this thing? My fingers are lightly trembling over the keyboard with anticipation...I have too much in my head...how do I get it all down? Is that why they call it "blog"? I sort of feel like that right now. Bloggggggg....Maybe because it's 12:13am and I have an uneasy restlessness. Blog sounds like clog. Like cloudy, brainless, uncertainty. The funny thing is I'm sort of going through a creative "blog" right now. It's been going on for much longer than I'd like to admit. I have a million ideas in my head and I want to paint them all and be instantly satisfied. So I start a painting but am quickly disillusioned when it does not turn out how I like it to look IMMEDIATELY. So I'm doing the new age, Oprah-loving, self-help thing; searching out books with titles like "Recapturing Your Childhood Creativity." and "How to STOP Thinking When You Are Painting." and some of them have worked...for about a minute. My sudden urge to create art comes to me at the weirdest, most inopportune times so I end up waiting for the right time which never exists and then guess what happens? More blog! Worse blog than before my self-help awakenings! Well I don't know how long that blog is going to continue but I know (or hope) that it's a temporary process all artists inevitably defeat and grow from. As for this blog, I say goodnight.
