Days 44 & 45: Well, isn't that poetic?

A day after posting about the importance of consistency...I miss my first post.

Clearly, I am a fan of irony.

But, moving right along, because that's all we can do; I will simply say things happen which take priority.

I may have missed the post, but I did not miss the risk.

SO here is an abridged yesterday, and today!

SUNDAY:

The risk: Ask for advice on sketch.

When it comes to the creative process, sometimes you need another set of eyes. That is not easy for me. Asking for help in ANY way is not easy for me. I am one of the most stubborn people I have ever known. I like the satisfaction that comes from knowing I can do it all by myself. However, as I am learning it's not effective in pushing you towards growth. Now self-reliance is key; the strength that arises from pulling yourself up from down and out is extraordinary.

But it is the smaller moments, the "I'm stuck on writing a sketch for class, can you look at this?" Which will open up your eyes. And it did. I asked for input, showed what I knew to be sub-par work, and listened to invaluable feedback. Which brings me to today:

MONDAY

TODAY'S RISK: Start again.

With only hours till class tonight, I am completely rewriting this sketch, and I mean COMPLETELY. The advice from yesterday echoed exactly what I felt, and the advice-giver was completely in tune with what I was feeling about the sketch. I could call in sick. I won't. . . but I really do want to. Ah, wish me luck!
