Keep your time sacred / Happenings In The Outhouse 22-Nov-2019

When it comes to creating your art, you'll need to keep your time sacred.  If you don't, you'll never finish.

And finishing, so you can share with the world, is the point of creation.

Do you eat meals?  Even though the time may vary, you do eat.  Treat the time you set aside for eating the same way you would toward your art.  Whether you're a morning or evening person, find a time that works best.  Experiment with it too.

Also, these may change over time.  In college, I used to do my best work at night.  Many nights, I'd write until two or three in the morning.  About ten or so years ago, I found mornings worked best.  I'd wake up around five or five thirty and write.  That time was sacred.

Even nowadays, with my life turned upside-down, I set aside times to write.  Am I perfect about it?  Heck no!  But I plunge ahead anyway.

Whatever you do, create an appointment for the things that are important.  Like eating or reading or praying.  Even sleeping.

You can do it.  The world is depending on you.
