do you ever get the vague yet undeniable feeling that something great is going to happen? after a very long spell of not feeling particularly inspired, i lately feel that i’m entering a period of creative fruitfulness. i’m positively electric with antici…
pation.
i’ve decided take on a personal challenge to make this impending great thing come to fruition. it feels so self indulgent i’m almost embarrassed to type it, but here’s the plan: I’M CLAIMING FIVE WHOLE DAYS. five days to make things. five days off work that aren’t sick days. five days to not worry about anything besides doing just whatever my creative impulse tells me to do.
i am gearing up for this by collecting inspirations and eliminating things that will almost certainly distract me if i don’t do them now…like cleaning the house, organizing closets, refinishing furniture, reading six books at the same time, gardening…and internetting.
to steal a quotation from “the perks of being a wallflower,” I feel infinite. i will attempt to document each of the five days here as a way of keeping me on track and accountable to my own challenge, and trying to stay true to my goal of having something to show for the time i have greedily set aside for myself.
two weeks from now and counting…
