Writers Block (but not really)

Every now and then I have one of those days where I feel like everything was on fast forward and I wasn't paying attention. don't get me wrong I was pretty productive today. I went to work, got caught up on some projects I've been managing. I went to see my bestie at the salon and got a smokin new do, which I'll have to take some pics of and update real soon. I even fixed dinner and went to the crack house, I mean bookstore. Yet all day I've been lost in my own thoughts it seems. My mind has been wandering and it could possibly be the first symptom of artistic fever. See inspiration doesn't strike me like some thunderbolt from upon high, its more like a slow gas leak inside my head until suddenly I'm in a fog and all that can focus on is sinking my teeth into an artistic project. (this may actually be ADD though, so if you're familiar get me some meds) Usually when I reach the precipice of creation though its 3 a.m. and I have to be at work in 4 hours. If I'm lucky when I succumb to such moods the work comes vigorously and smooth (I'm still talking about art here folks) but often I can fall out of this fever just like that. I've been known to work day and night on some things if I get on a good pace but I have a stack of potential pieces right now begging for attention. So maybe if the itch sets in to pick up the brush I'll revisit my land of forgotten toys, and have something original to share with you all real soon.
