Not a very productive day today, I’m afraid, but I’ve decided I should clock out on days like this as well as those that are more fruitful. My hope is that the very act of recording and analyzing an unproductive day will help to reduce their frequency!

I didn’t do my morning pages today, nor did I write (except for emails), draw, plan, or brainstorm.

I did cut up collage scraps, tear out more pages for cutting, organize my workspace, spend a lot of time in the garden, go for a ramble (at Erik’s prompting), and sit in front of the computer for at least an hour looking at photos of plus-size models (very inspiring and fun, though whether this will affect my art remains to be seen).

I’m not sure what got into me today that I couldn’t get much done. I got up in the morning all rarin’ to go, and spent nearly an hour in the garden before breakfast… and then somehow my energy just faded away. For one thing, I didn’t eat too well today, and for another, we’re leaving tomorrow so there’s a vacationy feeling in the air. Hum. Well, I’m glad I at least indulged my curvy-girl photo obsession; that’s some form of filling the well even if it just seems like time-wasting.

We’ll see how the rest of the week goes. It’ll be tough because we’ll be in San Jose, but I would like to do at least some more drawing before the weekend hits.
