The #CreativeLife 2021 - review of week 11

 Planning is a good thing, but sometimes life has other plans

I mentioned in my previous post that planning is part of the creative life, and it is. It should be, and it is a good thing when you plan time to spend doing something creative. Last week life had other plans for me and my creative time did not happen until Friday.

Do I feel guilty about it? I do, but not because I did not draw or paint anything. I felt guilty for letting you down. I did not send out my newsletter and I did not post on Thursday, and that is letting down you, the person who takes time out of your busy life to read my blog twice a week. Even if you are not a subscriber to my newsletter, I respect that your time is as valuable as mine.

So, thank you for coming back today to read this post.

I cannot go back to change what happened last week, but I can only move forward and do my best again this week. The most important thing I have done is to not let last week (and all its issues) hold me back from what I enjoy. So I worked on a colour pencil drawing for a drawing competition due very soon and finished my inktober52 drawing for this week on Sunday.

Today is a public holiday in South Africa, so I will have a little more time to work on my drawing for the competition, but only after I have breakfast with a friend in my art group.

Even though it is a four day work week, I have to do a quotation for a client who requested that I do an evaluation of a new product. Exciting stuff!

I wish you a wonderfully creative week and remember to stay safe. Until Thursday!
