Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Motivation question


Ray;
    Thanks for the ideas, unfortunately having a deadline (which we have) 
doesn't always help. Our show  take about 6 to 8 months to make and even 
with that I'm still finding it hard to get started.
    After talking to my sister, who is also an artist, she told me that I 
should always go to my studio every day, even if  I  don't accomplish 
anything right away. She said the act of being in a creative atmosphere ( 
instead of the office or at home) helps get the gears started. So I have 
been doing that.
    Again thanks for the impute.
