17th November 2017 Me in the midst of my creative chaos. Alas, I don't look like this anymore.
CREATIVE CHAOS & THE VIRTUES OF TIDYING UP OR THE GOODNESS
I'm not sure if this is simply me, however when I'm tired, feeling burnt-out, lacking creative inspiration (usually because I've not been eating, I've been working intensely, on my art, my tshirt start up, an idea for a range of vegan curries.) and I'm not receiving an iota of encouragement from anyone I start tidying up. I invariably have clothes strewn around, (tshirts, jeans, jackets, ) unless I'm doing my minimalist thing then things invariably get stuffed into cupboards only for them to come tumbling out as soon as I open the cupboard. Tidying up is a way of trying to maintain a semblance of control in my life, it doesn't require much thinking or brilliance or a perceptive, intuitive or analytical mind (the missing five pound note whilst on holiday), it can be cathartic, meditative even, it's not exactly a break or multiple holiday cruises with a friend it does help revive the creative and familial instincts and a sense of duty, responsibility, to care for myself and my creative endeavors and act in my best interests. I wood invite others to do the same.
