It’s still morning pages. The conclusion to yesterday was that I let the guys know I won’t be coming back to woodworking, they were all very nice about it and supportive, I appreciate that. Moving forward my plan is to replace woodworking time with going to the library. My drawing set up can be veryContinue reading “Clean Sheets”

Oh Happy Day
I figured yesterday that since my name is Drawing My Life Away, I should probably be sharing more photos of drawings. I’d mentioned before that I’d like to share more photos in general, but the plants aren’t doing much these days. Actually it’s more like I’m keeping an eye out for any plant that isContinue reading “Oh Happy Day”
The Sun is Shinning Inside
Alright, I’ve got my Monday workout in the bag, only things left in order to call today a good day are writing this and doing my drawing. I woke up around 5:45 am this morning and my wife’s alarm doesn’t go off until 6:20. She then has an alarm go off five minutes later andContinue reading “The Sun is Shinning Inside”
Day Late and a Dollar Short
Good morning, look I’m sorry I snapped at you yesterday, I was grumpy and tired. I appreciate you being here, but you have to understand that writing this is work and people are not inclined to work for a metaphysical goal like metal health. It’s the same reason I struggle to do my daily mindfulnessContinue reading “Day Late and a Dollar Short”
Whats in a Line?
Alright I missed yesterday, get off my back I’m here now aren’t I? You know what I might decide to skip tomorrow if you’ve really got a problem, maybe I’ll skip all of December as a reward for doing so good all year. Nah I will try not to do that because if I didContinue reading “Whats in a Line?”
Gobble Goes the Turkey
Good morning pages and happy Thanksgiving. Look at me writing my pages before 8 am, like I should be doing. Yesterday I had some socializing to do which is pretty typical of the holidays I suppose. A friend of my wife’s from med school and her boyfriend came over to visit. What was a littleContinue reading “Gobble Goes the Turkey”
Penciling Pencil Lead
Well another day, another donut. It’d be nice to have donuts but c’est la vie. Drawing today is going pretty well. I’m getting some time in. It’s probably good focused time as opposed to what I usually feel is in a class room. I think with classes, there ends up being so many distractions andContinue reading “Penciling Pencil Lead”
Infatuate the Sound
It’s coming up on 11 am Sunday morning. This has been a nice Sunday, I haven’t been so happy in a long time. Last night my wife and I hung out with another couple. The girl knows my wife from college and her husband has a B.A. in philosophy. Yesterday he said he’s read DuneContinue reading “Infatuate the Sound”
Weather Report
Good morning pages, I’m hanging out in my studio working on origami. I made a paper crane to give to my little when we meet and when I was talking to a friend he mentioned a truth I was trying to avoid. That I need to have the technique memorized in case he wants meContinue reading “Weather Report”
As the World Turns
Squeaking in at the end of the day, I don’t know where to begin, I just have so many thoughts. I’m thinking about pursuing a career as a painter. Really not much would change about my life, but a ton would change about how I see myself. In that BBBS interview it seemed like theContinue reading “As the World Turns”
