Creative work is laborious on the brain. It takes focus and heart.
These are the resources we expend when we undertake a creative endeavor. When we log the hours on a screenplay, brainstorm the new web page function or edit that film.
Millions of micro choices in a sea of endless possibility, It’s AMAZING and tiring.
When my brain is tired from this work (what a privilege) I find I need something in the real world to sooth my brain and help it to rest and reconnect with the world.
I can’t watch a tv show because that’s the same part of the brain. Reading? Forget about it. I need something to do with my hands. Some tangible change to make in the world.
I need a beginning, a middle and an end. Maybe Cinderella was just having a break from writing her novel?
