Welcome to my very first blog entry…here anyway, I started a blog awhile ago and got very bored very quickly, there’s a little ADD in all of us isn’t there? But I digress...
My vision is to keep the blog focused on all things creative….guest bloggers will write every month or so to give people a chance to meet some of the wonderful people I have worked with over the years and continue to meet along the way. If you’d like to contribute as a guest blogger please email me and fill me in on what you’d like to chat about.
For now I will leave you with this. Artists, whatever that term means to you, are easily distracted by the fact that it is not a well paying job. I beg to differ, it feeds the soul and saves people’s lives, the pay off is in the soul. It saves people’s lives. I say it twice because I have actually argued the truth of this statement and for me it couldn’t be more true than that. It saves people’s lives. It may not completely pay my bills (yet). But for now, it keeps my soul very happy and nourished. So…most artists have their day jobs, I have been VERY fortunate to have one that makes me happy but I need to create as well. So, years ago, I made the decision to do one thing each day to nurture that part of me no matter how tired I was, no matter what crappy reality show was on…one thing once a day. It could be as small as writing an email, researching play submissions online or seeing a play. But I committed to doing one thing which more often then not turned into a thousand things. In any case, it works for me. My resume is the accumulation of doing one thing per day and that is all. Do one thing today.
