It seems to me that creative or artistic development has intimate links with self-development.
To the degree that I am not writing and painting, I am not being with myself. (Cue the distinction between be-ing and do-ing). I spend a certain amount of time resisting my own muse by doing. I dunno why.
The upshot is I am often not a human being, I’m a human doing. I run around Getting Thing Done ™- things that I don’t actually want to do, things that probably don’t matter, things that get me nothing and waste the ‘good’ hours of the day.
So I read this and found things in there I liked, including this remark:
You always start with where you are and work from there no matter what stage you’re at or how much work you’ve already done
I think this is as close as I am going to get to a New Years resolution- Chloe, start where you are.
