In an unheard moment of spontaneity we took the boys to the movies. On a Monday! And had popcorn for dinner.

Just pure selfish output. That can at least get one past that initial block and sometimes nifty things come out of those outburst sessions. Then when I get back to paperwork I've got that completely new thing waiting for me, patiently. <br /><br />I have a very structured home life compared to other makers I know. I have to set myself pretty rigidly so I can keep up with my part time day job and my partner's wonky schedule. But that structure includes things like a long warm-up period in the morning (often filled with those crayon scribbles), and a denouement at the end of the day so I can reflect on what I've done -- this helps me feel less like a failure in general. It sometimes comes down to making a list of things I did. As technical as "I figured out those weird angles in that blue piece" or as simple as "I ate a really nice dinner." It's all connected, yo.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17708526348612155627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872712733955065437.post-79027745723346570652012-05-07T21:13:24.709-05:002012-05-07T21:13:24.709-05:00You guys are the best!

Usually my head gets filled with the negative stuff and the downward spiral continues until I'm just about to give up. Best way I've been able to deal with it is (honestly) to say eff it and put on some hip hop to get me motivated. Oddly, like working out. Might take a bit, but once I'm back into the groove it works for a while. Then I vow to spend a few hours getting the rest of the crap back in order. Good luck getting through your stressful time!Kimberlyhttp://sennandsons.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872712733955065437.post-71899448762453158902012-05-07T12:02:06.235-05:002012-05-07T12:02:06.235-05:00Good luck getting through this stressful bit!
