So I've been a bad blogger and my WIP would tell you that I've been ignoring it too. But this just gave me the kick in the pants I needed. Hope you find it inspiring too!

I just saw this yesterday and it was such an inspiration! I keep remembering, "Make Good Art!" That is going to be my summer motto.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, I'm so excited to have found your blog!
Thanks, Leslie!
DeleteThanks for posting this, Sydney. A message well worth the time to listen to.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too!
DeleteI love this speech. My favorite part is the best advice he didn't take. It's so easy to get caught up in the worry and the stress and to forget to enjoy the moment. Hope you're churning away on that WIP, Sydney.
ReplyDeleteI'm not churning quite as quick as I'd like to, but I agree that enjoying the moment (even slow WIP moments) is great advice.
