When an artist doesn’t do the work

Image 4If you are a singer and you don’t sing, you will go a little crazy.

Same for a dancer, or a writer or a painter. It is not like you have a choice about it. You don’t choose it. It chooses you. If you spend to much time not working on what has chosen you, it will manifest in crazy. You will over react to things that happen and you will feel uneasy and disturbed and be a real bother to other people.

In the gym, the instructor says we have to “Get Right”   What he means is that we have to do what we came there for. No kidding around, We have to get it done no matter how we feel,

It is the same for an artist, Your reason for being here is to get the work done in a timely manner.

As only you can do you, there is no escaping it. It is not a luxury or a pastime. It is a life that needs to be lived.

and the important thing to know is that all the events that happen in your life are fodder for your craft

You have to create from experience. We have to look in the refrigerator and use what is there to make a meal. We have to embrace what we have been given.

Then all will be right with the world. And you won’t be crazy.
