Sometimes a quick sketch is enough to get one off and running in the morning.
I saw an interview with Bill Whitehead, the partner of author Timothy Findley yesterday. He said the thing that "TIFF" struggled with most was rather mundane. It was "getting to the desk" everyday. Pushing through that urge to do anything but the writing. It always helps to hear that others struggle with this too.

i just can't get enough of your sketches! (and i read living out loud each day!)
I was wondering how you get such excellent colours?! is it paint? or pastels? curious :)
Posted by: Lindsay on August 6, 2004 11:51 AMI've enjoyed the randoms sketches over the past couple of posts...makes me want to pick up a pencil, pen whatever and just sketch what's in front of me.
Posted by: stefanie on August 1, 2004 10:53 PMI just picked up SARK's newest book, "Make Your Creative Dreams Real : A Plan for Procrastinators, Perfectionists, Busy People, and People Who Would Really Rather Sleep All Day", and I'm hoping that it might help me break this block! Procrastination sucks!

Posted by: dan on July 31, 2004 04:32 PM"Getting to the desk." That's a nice, simple way to think about it. I like it. Maybe I'll try to make it a rule that I'm not allowed to do anything but write once I sit down at my desk, sleeping included.
Lovely sketches, by the way.
Posted by: Plish on July 31, 2004 01:00 AMOh my. My work schedule expanded this spring to just under full-time status. I am having such a hard struggle finding time for my art. My art is what keeps me sane and it's certainly taking a back seat these days. Thanks for the reminder that I need to re-double my efforts to make the time and the mental space for "getting to the desk", or in my case, to the sewing machine.
