Art Via Negativa


Hi all,

It is icy in Iowa today, and with the shiny stuff on the ground, I have found myself more reflective than usual….

It’s also be a rather lazy day for me, and as it’s gotten rather late I’m beginning to lament my lack of creative action today.

You see, I am struggling to live a creative life. I have multiple avenues and opportunities in my home to be so, and yet it is difficult for me to make it happen.

I’ve tried it all, having schedule, giving myself rewards, changing the way I think of myself, using others to hold me responsible.  

Nothing has worked.

Schedules get too often disrupted. Rewards quickly escalate to hedonism and laziness, becoming someone else is difficult to maintain. Using others to sustain oneself only leads to bad, bad things.

But there’s hope. What it I convince myself that I must create EVERY DAY, no matter how little, to not feel gross about life in general….. It’s a strategy that works well with brushing my teeth… and eating…

It’s worth a shot!

With that, I have a script about Joey Grimaldi to write…

Waffles!
