Hawkins Sun, 25 May 2008 16:08:38 +0000 http://d2018604.u291.foliopress.net/site/?p=162#comment-887 <p>Baby steps. My Dad always told me to do that when I would stress out over a school project. He always said to work on it a little every day. Alyson's blog tour has been very enlightening for me. And today's article has inspired me to think about ways to break my work down into smaller steps so that I will actually be more productive. Believe me, I would rather be in the studio every day instead of going to the job I do to make money. (Lucky for me, it's a great job, where I do at least get to be creative) But I find myself doing everything other than that because I always feel like there isn't enough time to finish anything. <br /> <br /> I have also been wanting to write a book for some time now. I have been keeping journals for years and I would be willing to bet that just following these baby steps will get me on the path to actually getting that book done and a lot more painting! </p> <p>Good luck with your writing. You know you can do it!</p> Baby steps. My Dad always told me to do that when I would stress out over a school project. He always said to work on it a little every day.

I have also been wanting to write a book for some time now. I have been keeping journals for years and I would be willing to bet that just following these baby steps will get me on the path to actually getting that book done and a lot more painting!

Good luck with your writing. You know you can do it!

I love the baby steps, which I think can be applied easily to writing in my blog :) I especially love #2 because we can only ever be our own story and the art and artists who speak to me are the ones who are telling their own story, evolving over time and outside the bounds of fashion and trendy.

Sorry I haven't been commenting recently, I've been keeping my voice reeled in due to something negative going on, but I'm stepping over that obstacle.

I love that Heron connects us – whenever I see one I think of you :)

We were out of the house & away from the computer most of the day, couldn't remember if your blog tour was yesterday or today, well now I know. Great advice! The 3 step attack really makes what seems like an insurmountable task, appear very "doable", amazing! I'm still hauling Alyson's book around with me from room to room, and sometimes it makes a road trip with me in my purse:) But hey, whatever works, and that works for me! </p> NO wonder I was thinking about you all day yesterday!

You are so right! Alyson's ability to make a workable plan with baby steps cures the overwhelming tasks of where do I start or how do I do this and targets viable reasonable just plain do-able steps.

So these are great tips. My thought was it might be easier to get the hang of good writing and interviewing of other people as experience for trying to get my own promo writing out there. The blog entries idea is a great one though! Now I have no excuse not to start something.</p> How funny, I've just signed up to be a correspondent for an arts and craft magazine!

Alyson Stanfield gave me inspirational looks into why anyone would be interested in me, and my artwork. I have dedicated this year to my self discovery, and looking at things from a new point of view. I recently talked to an art school and knew ir would only tak manybe 2 curse for me to start making 30.000 dollars mre a year, I could complete the courses and get that better job, but will that take me closer to where my heart is as an painter? No.<br /> I have re-evalualuated myself since yesterday and know now, I want to know what courses to take to make me a better painter, a painter with a future, A new path to follow that will make me happier, not take me further away from that happiness for 20.000.00 more. I should be abl to fine my way, and what i have trained myself for, and let that new job take me further on my path closer to my heart.</p> Tammy I would love to always be in the studio, and have it on my list to read since I have no blog at this time.
