A friend of mine is in the midst of writing a book write now. A process she has been dreaming about and planning for since high school and now in the midst of finishing her masters degree the urge and need to write finally over took her. This seems to others as bad timing as it consumes most of her time and energy when she should be concentrating on other things. But to her and I it seems like the best and only use of her time and energy. It's a hard thing to explain to people who don't understand. Excellent post Jessica.

Good luck with your endeavors. Please refrain from placing more than one relevant link in your comments on my blog. This is fair warning. ok? :) You need to relax to get your blood pressure down. Breathing is good for that. Breath in thru your nose for a count of 4 or 5 then out thru your mouth for a count of 3 or 4. Rahul… Good luck with your endeavors.

I'm finding though you need to make it a habit. A BAD habit. Brian finish that 10" by 10" painting and post it to Flickr. You'll feel relief and happiness afterwards that you set out and finished it. Then again it may be one of those art pieces that takes years to complete. Brain – We’ll always find other things that are more important, more necessary, more more more.

I am always trying to please myself with what I do... sometimes I'm successful. I never liked the notion of struggling / starving artist either... its probably yet another excuse wandering in the back of my head, as to why it takes months to get a 10x10 painting done. I always find other things that need doing. Always having more ideas than time, money or ability can get down is hard. I am always trying to please myself with what I do… sometimes I’m successful.
