Fell back in to old routines...

Well, today wasn't too productive. Taught art at Central Ohio Art Academy. That wore me out something righteous. I got 3 of those kids doing some highly conceptual experimental mixed media. They are definitely troopers. The level of work I expect from them is nothing short of spectacular and they are definitely succeeding beyond my expectations. It's like having 3 clones working on 3 intense projects simultaneously in an area maybe 20' x 20'.
My mind is on overload, all the while I can't help, but think about my novel that I am neglecting. It has only been a day, but I already feel my characters becoming upset with me at the fact they stay stuck on pause. Pretty soon they are going to start acting up and I will have a hard time wrangling them back in. Tomorrow I swear I will get back to them. I think they are mad at me. They haven't got to hear there daily dose of Mississippi Jones, Bob Dylan, and Mr. Woodie Gunthie. The soundtrack to my novel... If there is such a thing. It keeps me grounded.
Anyway, I'll be judging the children's art next week. Pretty excited, never got to judge a show before. Tons of great art. No idea who will be winning. Everything is so good.
Sorry I don't have nothing witty to say or sarcastic. I guess in the words of Ice Cube, " Today was a good day."
I will be back to my ol' cynical self tomorrow. Got to keep these daily's going you know? Part of that New Year's thing and all.

  1. Funny you mention a "soundtrack." Each novel I've written or am writing has a playlist I listen to when I'm writing or while I'm taking a break--and the music has no logical or any influence on the work, it's just a way to rope your senses back to the story when you find yourself distracted after a day of... say... teaching children's art classes.
