Thalia adds delphinium blossoms to her creation. “Two days in a row — We’re draaaaawh-ing again!” “Feed positive cravings.” Urania packs up pencils. Calliope glances at a countertop coffee cake. “And… starve negative addictions.” What we carry defines who we are and the effort we make is our legacy.
Off on a new adventure? I have to ask how The Muses retain their youthful, girlish figures. Today a coffee cake. (One can’t drink coffee without same I suppose) Strawberry-rhubarb pies earlier this year. Now the cherries and pound cake perhaps? All sound yum!
Part of this fresh love-letter suggests we still have to know which wolf we’re feeding... and how much! To be sure some coffee cake remains later in the day! 🤭 Is it possible to gorge on creativity? Or binge as I often hear today? Is balance essential? Do you ever continue a creative process long into the night?
If not does that suggest confidence in your skill set? That you’ll wake up with the same eye, the same touch (on brush or paint stick, etc), and sense of proportion as you had yesterday before hitting the hay?🙃
This is not interrogation beneath the bare 150-Watt bulb. 😊

Gorge on creativity? Yes.
Balance essential? I don’t think so, but it helps. If the rest of my life is askew, I personally find my creativity is compromised.
Late night creativity is not for me. I came programmed as an early-to-bed model. 🤷♀️
This morning I made a note:
Success = Shepherding creative projects from conception to completion
😁
To do so at least once every day (3mm) is empowering!
Well articulated! Thanks.
