I seem to get enthusiasms – I’m not sure what else to call them-where all of a sudden I have a new interest that I have to learn all about. And then I’ll go into overload mode where I absorb everything about the subject that I can find and I’ll try it until I’m relatively confident about it… Then I’ll go on to the next one or cycle back to a new phase of one of my other hobbies. I can’t seem to fully concentrate on more than one thing at a time.
Right now I’m reading up on writing. It was the one thing that I’ve been meaning to get around to “someday” that I hadn’t done much about. So I’ve been writing and I’ve been reading. I always read but it’s is a bit more directed when I’m trying to learn about something. I request books from the library, download workshops, read online articles, listen to podcasts… Basically fill up my brain with anything about the subject I can find.
My brain’s almost at the overflow point – that’s when I can take all these ideas and techniques and know-how and start connecting them together and trying new things.
It’s quite fun actually but I have to admit I’ve been neglecting my clay… But that’s ok. It’s time will come around again once the writing is more stable.
