Ten Million Things

There are ten million things that can get in the way of a little creativity, and half the days work involves blocking the 10 million things that take one's time.

Today I managed to paint two hours. (I also wrote for three hours.)

Today's thought is this; an artist must be so careful as to what he says: anyone who listens to an artist's thinking usually listens with ears packed full of ego. It is a sad slow truth that any creative person must talk like a bunny. Say what you think, say what you feel, say what you mean, and you are immediately chastised. This is what I call the Borg Effect. The group energy rules. Whosoever sounds like they could be above anyone, is torn down. It is also the 'king of the hill' game.

So the rule is you can do anything you want, just don't say anything. Your art won't get you in trouble, your talking will.
