So so hard, especially at such a stressful challenging time, to feel like your creative outlet is denied you. You sound like you are doing brilliantly by working to find things that can fit into what has suddenly become a very restricted space. I like to call these periods 'fallow periods'. Helps me feel less guilty about not 'producing' all the time. And let's face it, I'm sure we both know plenty of artistes who have managed the quantity side of things but would have been better off producing higher quality work a tenth as often. This is a marathon, not a sprint, after all. But I don't mean this to sound preachy, just offering some comfort and understanding. Things suck quite a bit at the moment and it is OK to say so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
