The Neglectful Artist

I've been feeling like I've lost focus lately; putting too much energy into one thing while neglecting other things. When I say "lately" I mean YEARS. It's nobodies fault but my own.

I lost my drive for art... well I didn't really lose it, but I haven't had space in my head for it. I've tried and tried, getting excited about one idea or another.. talking it up, gathering all my materials... but nothing. I end up staring into space, checking my phone, hanging out with friends, being distracted by the kids and then end up looking at the mess in front of me, all those little pieces of stuff that I've gathered and I have a hard time making anything.

I tried to get organized yesterday and it didn't work out for reasons I can't explain exactly. But then my good buddy Robyn showed up and basically said, "hey, let's get all the stuff you're NOT USING out of the way and into storage" that's not really a direct quote, but that was the idea. She helped me get some junk out of the way and motivated me to clean up my space. It's not clean yet, but it's on its way :) of course I got distracted but have actually been productive in that distraction. Thanks Robyn! Couldn't have done it without you.

I'm excited to say that (I think) I'M BACK!! haha!

Till next time, if you have a fun idea, go with it... just make sure you have the space in your place (and your head)

Stay Tuned

I've got a lot to say, but no time right now... I think it's time to start jotting things down again, it really did help to get it all out......until later
