How much time you take to create your art is irrelevant. The creation of any given art is a process. How much time it takes to create art is an often controversial, yet deeply personal matter. This can be particularly disempowering in the ultra-fast, have-it-done-yesterday society we live in. How many competitions do we see on TV where you have 3 days to renovate a home or 30 minutes to cook a meal and the
This article explores how there is no One True Way to do virtually everything.

Chapter by chapter, they were lined up and awaiting being written into
Strategy and tactics are surprisingly important to the arts. Many people look at arts and artists and form an immediate judgment. Weak. Unattached. Odd. Rebellious. Unique. Hippy. Soft. And similar notions of the non-warrior. Let me just set the record straight. This is not the truth. Artists ARE warriors. Maybe not in the traditional sense of strapping on armor, taking up swords and guns, or the like. But we still gird our loins to do
I have even more blogs for you to enjoy. Please visit my original blog website:
I post here twice weekly about my work with Positivity, Mindfulness, and Conscious Reality Creation. I’ve been blogging every week, without fail, since the beginning of 2012.
