Salon de Maria Blog

It's been awhile since I've connected with this blog.  I've been engulfed with client work which hasn't left very much room for anything else.  No drawing.  No painting.  No making jewelry.

Just writing.

I seem to have reached writer's burnout - or information overload.

They say that you should be careful about what you wish for - because it may just come true.  Just a little over two years ago I was thinking, "Hmmm...wouldn't it be great to make money from writing?" 

Now I have enough work to keep me writing from now until eternity!  I don't want to come off sounding like I'm complaining about all the work I have to do.  I am truly grateful to be able to do something I love and get paid to do it.  I just miss the paint brushes and the jewelry making.

I was in the bookstore the other day and came across a magazine called Artful Blogging.  As I browsed through the magazine, I kept saying to myself, "I wish I could be art-fully creative right now." 

A little voice inside me says, "Why don't you do it right now?  You always have time to create art..."

I started making excuses for not being creative.  I have too much writing to do.  I have blogs that have been neglected.  There's a project that needs to be done tomorrow...

I finally told myself to shut up and started doodling....



Aww...Now I feel better!
