for some wonderful but unexplained reason i've been feeling really positive all week. less stressed about certain things, and really good about some things that are going to happen, or could happen this year. i hope this continues because i have a couple garments to make in about a month, and i need that positivity in order to come out with something that isn't a total piece of crap. in fact, no pressure to myself, but its kind of going to have to be awesome.

with creative projects or professions especially, the game is how to keep the creativity flowing CONSTANTLY. its impossible just to sit down and "do it", there needs to be some level of inspiration and excitement about it, otherwise the whole project will just suck. like an author who is stuck with writers block, when its not happening, its just not happening. not surprisingly, the times in my life that i've done the best work have been when i was incredibly happy in other aspects of my life, or feeling really positive and capable due to other projects or things going on at that point.

then of course, there are the times when inspiration just HITS you. like last night, as i was about to go to bed early for the first time in maybe forever, when i all the sudden leapt out of my bed to sketch an idea that i just knew i would forget by the morning. in those instances, no sleep, people or plans can get in the way of work, because if that moment of inspiration is lost, chances are it will be gone forever.
