Go Paint My Muse Commands

Loving my studio is not enough I have to actually go over there and pick up a paintbrush Reminding myself who I am Today is the day, I say, halfheartedly. Not ready yet. Sticking myself back into lah lah TV land A world that never brings satisfaction of any kind Yet here I sit hour upon hour Decompressing and decomposing. Go paint! My muse commands. Making things worse. I despise being told what to do. I click yes for the next automatic show I am not watching.

Muse is an eternal dictator; ordering us around although, sometimes I'm glad I listened. I don't always remember what she pours upon my pages but, she's produced some nice pieces throughout the years. Enjoyed.

She is so bossy, and sometimes kind of prissy too. I am ignoring her tonight.

Get thee to your studio! I think you'll be a lot happier if you do, Caren...

I need to run out there and begin!

Sometimes I get poetically paralyzed! And sometimes I need to have fun and not beat myself up while so doing. Judging everything I do constantly as "non- creative" is no standard for me to run my life. There's a time for everything. Panagiota

If it is not "fun anymore" I do not do it. I think I left painting because of two in-the-middle-of paintings I have no desire to finish. I need to hide them and free myself.
