Busy Doing Nothing
Since spring has arrived I’ve been incredibly busy doing what feels like nothing at all. How is that possible? All this wonderful fresh air and sunshine has given me a severe case of attention deficit disorder. I have several half done projects strewn about my studio right now. Switch tasking between them is not helping because it just ends up culminating into getting more of nothing done. Two nights ago I pushed all the half-done’s aside to start yet another new thing; a sketch this time. The rhyme to my reason was that since all my unfinished projects were tainted with lethargy dust, a fresh start would surely break the cycle and realign my headspace.
My plan only half worked – go figure. Miraculously I did finish the sketch and I’m pretty happy with it. The problem now is that it was done on crappy paper and I like it enough to want to redo it on good paper. Sigh. It’s back to the half-done pile I go. Avoidance is futile.
