words and art and design

My words come from my heart. I find it hard to write words when I'm analytical. Yet my daily, paid word is often very analytical.

I have an even deeper problem when it comes to visual art. I have to do it with feeling and hands... and it requires me to disconnect from others, which is lonely, yet it requires me to open my heart up all the way and experience and make things sensually. It is, thus, a too-vulnerable place to be.

broad vision, determined focus, amazing process.

a crazy few days

too much work work, including statistical analyses, for which I'm not trained and which I dislike, even though I do a good job.

wanna make a list of words I'm tired of but I'm too tired to make lists of anything.

gray day

nothin but sleep and an interrupted viewing of The Parallax View, which was very good, though I don't like films from that time, and reading new QueryShark updates and pffa comments.

to do: long walk, buy some juice, change my working area, sleep again.

first of the new

so tired from being up almost all night. work to do:
org workspace.
answer D, whose unpredictability is a weapon and I don't want to be in her wars
walk in the slushy snow.
call family.
see how much time, energy and light are left for regular chores.

what's in me that gives my love to others?

- - -

so here's what I actually did: answered D, said HNY on SandC, wrote 3 crits on the EveryAuthor fiction forum.

the day's not done, as yet.
