Re: Mindful meanderings of the mindless

In Response To: Re: Mindful meanderings of the mindless (MACK!)

The moral of the story is,
Do what you love. Forget about best selling. That can come or not.
Just do the artform that you enjoy and the rest will fall into place as you as you really DO it.

Best,
DM

: My advice is to just start doing it. In any form. In all
: forms. Don't try to figure it all out ahead of time.
: What is important is that you get yourself INTO the
: process. Sometimes you think you have to have it
: figured out before you write. This will just lead to
: procrastination and frustration. The information comes
: in the PROCESS of the ACT of working. Then you connect
: with your creative self that is more than your
: conscious self. And you jump from bridge to bridge and
: get lost and found in the process. Then there will
: come a point when you realize what you are doing and
: why and what direction you are going in. But what is
: important, is that if you are a writer, or an artist,
: the process is what is enjoyable. Even when it is not
: enjoyable, it is, because you are where you should be
: in the ACT of it. So you just DO it. You put your all
: in it. And the work becomes its own thing after the
: fact, and wether people choose to see it as great or
: not will be a seprereate thing. Most likely some
: people will think it is great, and some people will be
: blind to it, and others will relate to it and learn
: something from it and that will be rewarding to you,
: and create amazing and unpredictable ripple effects in
: other's lives and in the rest of your lives. But not
: as rewarding as the very ACT of finding your place in
: the universe by immersing yoursefl in the ACTION and
: PROCESS of doing what you are hardwired to do.

: If you are a writer or an artist, you will do it. Because
: you have no choice. You will do it wether it is fun or
: not. Or you will be miserable if you do not do it. And
: when you do it, even when it is miserable and hard and
: difficult work, it will be fun.

: Go team.
