Day 198 of Year 2 (Actually Day 203)
I guess I've completely fallen back into my bad habit of posting late at night. I feel confident it can be corrected though. 🙂 My head is brimming over with new ideas which is good because I have a lot of blank walls! After a big show it's common for an artist to hit a lull. I anticipated this and strategically planned projects not part of the show. These projects have me excited enough to carry me right through that lull. A lot of this lies in the framing. In my head I cast the show as part of my larger goal, not the end in itself. This way even though the work for the show is done, I'm still moving forward. It is so necessary to have a big dream, one that is so large it would seem like a miracle to fulfill. It could be a status goal like receiving recognition, it could an energetic goal like loving deeply, or anything that lights you up. The point is to create the climate of excitement that feeds the creative process and pulls you forward.
