I’m in that weird transitionary period between one block of my life and another, that I can’t just jump across to without taking a breather. I’m sure everyone else who spend periods of their lives doing ‘something else’ knows that feeling. Yes – I’ve got a whole week off at last! The last month seems to have gone on forever with the repetitiveness of commuting day in day out, writing reports, going to meetings…blah blah blah…
Now it will take me at least a couple of days to adjust and to be able to create again.
I went for a long walk this morning and picked some blackberries while I was out to give me a sense of normality. Walking helps me unwind and to unblock my thought processes again.
Settling down for the evening, I started to read through a few of the ‘artists talking’ blogs, but then had to stop because I felt so guilty. Everyone seems to be busy working on something…and I’m not. Do people seriously work for hours on end every single day?
Even though I haven’t physically produced anything in the last week… I’ve bombarded myself with ideas. I have a strange way of working I suppose. I don’t keep a notebook, or use a sketchbook ( not very often anyway) but if an idea or a way of solving a problem pops into my head, I send myself an email. These are usually entitled ‘to do’ or ‘Try….’
Now I have to wade through all of those that I’ve sent in the last few weeks. I do know though, that before I had off to Leasowe tomorrow to put in a day’s work there – I must first head into town for some nuts and bolts. These come under the ‘To Try..’ heading.
I’m hoping by next weekend at least, I will have something to show for my time off.
