November 11, 2007 Day 206
Today I made my drawing in late afternoon, and for some reason I was relaxed and had a lot of fun with it. I didn't worry about containing myself within the page, but swept the pens freely from edge to edge.

I could not sleep last night and spent some time agonizing over everything that was on my mind, feeling pressure to make some changes and to ease up on myself. This morning I talked to my sister Laura, who is always a good sounding-board for me when I'm going through this kind of analysis. After talking to her, I canceled my commitment to give a workshop on internet marketing for artists next summer. Too often I just say "yes" to any opportunity that comes along, and then I'm sorry later.
It's been too long since I have had time to paint. I need to clear off my desk and find that space to do my own creative work.
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
