Tiny thing Big Problem

So I went to Seattle over the weekend, I somehow managed to lose my glasses. I'm not sure if I left them there or if they're buried in my car somewhere. I have got to find them. It really sucks, my stigmatism distorts perspective which makes it impossible to draw without my glasses. I keep going oh, I should draw that, or oh, I've got an idea I want to sketch out and I can't because not having glasses sucks.

Its really annoying how there are all these practical things you have to take care of for your art practice to be successful, especially when the creative spirit moves you. You just want to make art, I know that if I went to my car and spent how ever many hours looking for my glasses, if I ever even found them, by the time I was done I'd probably have lost my inspiration. On the other hand its better to be motivated and find them as soon as possible so I can get as much work done as I can. Its so easy to be lazy when you don't have everything at hand to make your work but you've just got to make the decision to delay your self-gratification and do the toil work so you can get around to doing the fun stuff. To be real, you feel better you're more productive and when you're productive you feel better and conversely when you're depressed you feel lazy and when you're lazy you feel depressed so you've just got to make the decision to be self-motivated and break yourself out of your rut.

Tonight I'm going to get a goodnight's sleep and in the morning when there's light out enough to see I'm going to find my glasses. Try going out of your way to be as productive as possible in your art practice and see how much better you feel even if the stuff you're producing isn't your best work ever, the act of simply continually producing work will get the rust out of the gears and get you in tip top shape.
