I sat down tonight to draw.
I couldn't seem to make anything work.
I decided to write instead.
I couldn't get anything out that felt right.
I hate nights like these.
These nights nothing works.
I think everyone has nights like this.
It's nights like this when we think "I'm a hack, who the the fuck do I think I'm kidding?"
Sigh.

I've adopted a standing policy to ride it out, have a coffee, tea, beer, ice cream... whatever, and try again another night.
My question to all my creative friends this late summer's night is this:
"How do you deal with these nights?"

Hi Kids

 
Sleep with a pad and pen next to the bed. Something usually comes to me.

okay ...... I'll put myself out there and tell ya!

I have these huge 70's dated KOSS head phones -- I listen to some new age music, close my eyes and the creative brain waves start back up. If that doesn't work -- a long hot bubble bath with a great glass of wine. -- your choice! ;)

Things will rock on for you.... let it ride like you said!

I love the idea of huge 7's KOSS headphones!
I think I was in a funk last night. Today I'm feeling more inspired. I'll try try again as they say.
Thanks!

The same thing hits me from time to time. I solve it by watching porn and going to sleep.
