I don't like to over plan. There is something magical in the unexpected. This is my cause and my curse. I want consistency with all the promise of 'magic'. It doesn't exist.
And yet I try and try to maintain both.

Morning....
Wow - almost 2 months since my last entry. I wish I could say its been 'work, work, work' all day long since, but alas no. More like, 'kids, summer, driving, moving, and more kids' all day long. With that said, I still feel on track and ok with my progress. However, since the last entry, and my apparent stroke which caused my obvious dementia, I entered and was selected for another show - which happens to be THE DAY AFTER my OTHER show, 11/5. So I have to make a @#&* load of work to sell at the second show, cause its like a fair.
I really think I am calm because if I wasn't calm I'd completely lose it.
In the last two months I've had my share of technical difficulties, for sure. One so bad that in my panic I emailed my old professor (she's not old, you know what I mean, sorry Lori) for advise on how to save a piece after a kiln mishap. As is always her she has been very supportive - she is basically why I remain so calm amid all of this craziness! She is also the one who reminded me (over a very nice and needed lunch) that THIS is how I learn how to have a show....like you actually have to have one to learn how to have one. Duh, Cheryl. In my mental state of nuts I forget - and she reminds me, very calmly. Cheryl you WILL make mistakes. Its ok. You're doing it - thats whats important. Learn, move on.
Thanks Lori.
Above all else, I just want to be interesting. If I can be interesting and unexpected AND somewhat engaging as an artist.....well THAT would be success. But for now I will accept interesting.
