When I was little I remember having a million different projects going on at once, I could not do it all fast enough. I remember writing little books, reading ten books at once, drawing illustrations that went with those books and some how finding time for a social life ( no, just kidding). And today, while listening to Dave Matthews band, playing on line scrabble, and studying for school (oh and drinking coffee and eating a scone) I happily realize that not much has changed. I scour my brain, filter it out and then act on the most tangible activity at the time. At any given time I will have 10 to 20 things I want to try and do. I was such a busy bee back then and continue to keep it alive. I think if I were to stop, i would be stifling a God given talent that would manifest in other ways. I dream about an open space with a painting corner, a throwing wheel, a drafting table and all the fabric I would ever need; on second thought maybe I should just enroll in art school :) But as sporadic as my thoughts are I have come to love them and nurture their random nature. In other news, I just listened to a hypnosis podcast which was unusually pleasant, but came to realize that I CAN do all these things. I can have twenty projects going on at once, there is nothing wrong with that, and I will finish them at my own pace, one day! First on my list, my short story #1. mom--I still think about that Ponyo film all the time. Inspiration is essential to this process,and it facilitates my thoughts in the first place.
here's some related inspiration: seriously love her clothes!!
