Taking My Own Advice

Did you know you could be suffering from artist’s block without realizing it is happening? This is a reality I am facing and, until yesterday, I did not realize it was happening.

How?

Well, I have been extremely busy with work, school, and taking care of my family. (For those of you who do not already know this, I am attending University of Maryland University College through use of their distance-learning program.) In addition to these factors, I am also writing a book that is set to be released by the publisher in June (the final stage of the book is near completion, then we have the daunting task of editing to complete).

Back to my original point: I thought I was just plain too busy to work on art projects, but I was wrong. I had been stifling my own creativity through all of these other tasks, responsibilities, and commitments. It is really easy to for one thing to seem more important than another and, before you know it, you are blocked. At least, this has been the case for me. So, I will be following my own advice and breaking free from the block.
