Day 47: Back to basics

For various reasons, work and personal, I've developed something of a block, artistically.  I have accomplished little things of late but nothing particularly exciting.  I have been struggling to find something positive to say here.

So, as is my wont, when I get stuck, I return to The Artist's Way.  A book on working through the rough patches of an artistic life.  There are lots of suggestions and exercises in the book.  Basically, I recommend it to you.

My first step is usually to return to journalling.  Somehow, once I get the stuff out of my head, my dilemma comes to the surface.  Part of this comes from being an introvert in a household of six people.  I can't think through the words floating in the air.

Next step?  Talking to my support network.  Which is what I'm going to do now.

I close with a picture of a random work of gourd art.

More on this to follow.
