“If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls.” ~ Henry Rollins, Spoken Word Artist

Not every work is a masterpiece. Some merely get the creative juices flowing. Some become fodder for future works. Any practice is better than none.

I prefer thinking in the abstract—the unknown or the simplistic. At times writing a passage that can be interpreted in more than one way, so the reader has some responsibility in how they react to what is written. Painting in broad strokes and leaving some of the detail to the viewers’ imaginations. I’ve created a multitude of tiny landscapes in this vein. It is a good way to loosen up for larger pieces.

Perhaps I have a short attention span, and simply want to get on to the next thing. However, I generally think in terms of “I like this right now. If I continue, I’ll screw it up”.

In addition, I’m one of those people who has multiple thoughts running through their brain at any given time. So I don’t have a lot of time to concentrate on just one concept, unless I want the others to float off into oblivion. Anyway, this is just a thought. Anyone else out there identify?
